“I posted numbers a few days ago on this site. Based on readily available numbers and simple math but the dude said all the data was fake.”

I have my suspicions about a lot of the data I see thrown around. Best assumptions and wishful thinking often don’t survive first contact with reality. I also think some people don’t have our best interests at heart.

Sorry those were on a different thread

I did the calculations for a local gas station pumping 200,000 gallons of gas and 700,000 gallons of diesel fuel per month. It would take a dedicated 30-40 MWs to replace that hydrocarbon fuel with electricity. That’s just one station in a small 100k metro area.
