Truck stop -- 100MW

dtb — 7/26/2009 4:39:38 AM (archived)

I just did some very back of the envelope calculations, and a busy truck stop is probably dispensing energy at an average rate of about 100MW. Maybe even 200MW.

If electric vehicles start to move, buy stock in companies that install high-tension electrical lines. There will be a LOT of rewiring going on.
