Question

A challenge gaining prominence throughout the planet is the increased need for "green" or sustainable energy. In certain parts of the country, wind farms are a viable alternative to conventional energy sources. An average wind turbine (the device which converts rotational motion to electricity) has a maximum capacity of 1.80 MW. However, realistically the wind turbine never runs at full power. If a wind turbine runs at 32.6% capacity for 1.00 year, how much energy does the wind turbine generate?

Explanation / Answer
