Try to think logically about this. If one light bulb uses, say, 60 watts, how could the whole city be using 8962 watts? Doesn't that strike you as a little odd? The proper unit is megawatts. Not 8962 watts, but 8,962,000,000 watts. It's not rocket science, just common sense. And failing that, attention to detail.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/12/23/cold_weather_causes_records_electricity_demand.php#comment-37554 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/12/23/cold_weather_causes_records_electricity_demand.php#comment-37554 Comments Thu, 23 Dec 2004 10:38:21 -0500 <p>keith's site is actually linked in the photoblog section of the main site. you should check those out and all the others too.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/12/23/cold_weather_causes_records_electricity_demand.php#comment-37553 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/12/23/cold_weather_causes_records_electricity_demand.php#comment-37553 Comments Thu, 23 Dec 2004 10:31:34 -0500 <p>That image is stunning.
