2 kW per house? My wife’s hair dryer sucks that alone. Try an average of 7 kW per house.

Yeah 7K is closer. Although if you have an all-electric house and turned on all the big juice suckers at the same time (e.g. A/C, water heater, washing machine, dryer, stove and oven) you’d probably need about 30K or 40K. But that’s still 10 times less than what this one plane is using!

The more I hear about the JSF, the more I think it should be trash canned.

Check with your electric utility. The average base loading is considered between 1 and 2 KW per residence. Of course there are times when more is being drawn, but the basic rule is as stated.
