According to Mark P Mills, the USA now has the capacity to generate 760 gigawatts of power and has another 158 gigawatts in reserve. But really we have far less reserve because we need 144 gigawatts to be there for disasters, breakdowns, maintenance, and peak loads.
I think a standard nuclear power plant generates about 1 gigawatt of power.
I think the solar 1 plant in Las Vegas generates about 64 megawatts of power.
9-Mar-2010 smart grid technology - company called greenbox was making hardware and software to let people monitor their energy usage but they got bought out by Silver Springs networks.
