      Feel like its a common mistake to mix up kW and kWh, but if you don’t know the basics of power you shouldn’t be trying to write on the topic and any peer reviewer should know the cost of onshore wind is in the cents per kWh, not 100’s of dollars per kWh if someone has even if only from paying attention to their own electric bill.

      Also apparently mixed billions and trillions at one point? Just a small factor of a 3 (orders of magnitudes).
