#1 As I understand, Iraq has a population of 25 million and only uses 6000-7000Mw per day.

As a resident of Ontario, we have 7 million people and use 20000-25000Mw per day.

6000Mw would barely keep our streetlight on.

#5 i've voted republican since time out of mind. i physically can't vote for a democrat, but this is the sort of thing that will keep me at home.
"german generators". why in sam hill wouldn't we scrap these things, as soon as possible, and bring in shiny new GE turbines? american money going for american products? and more importantly, we create a shiny neon city on the hill as an example. none of this is happening.
