For easier comprehension, we'll simplify OHM's Law to amps=watts/volts. 127 megawatts = 127,000,000 watts utilizing ohm's law: 127,000,000 watts divided by 240 volts [household elec] = 529,166.67 amps utilizing simple math: 529,166.67 amps divided by 200 amps per household = 2645.8333 households Question: How much to build the facility? You guys are using that fuzzy math like the unemployment figures. For easier comprehension, we’ll simplify OHM’s Law to amps=watts/volts.

127 megawatts = 127,000,000 watts

utilizing ohm’s law: 127,000,000 watts divided by 240 volts [household elec]
= 529,166.67 amps

utilizing simple math: 529,166.67 amps divided by 200 amps per household = 2645.8333 households

Question: How much to build the facility?
