Similarly, solar thermal energy--which harnesses the heat of the sun to generate steam-powered turbines--consumes more than 2, 600 liters of water per megawatt hour, 200 liters more than coal-powered generation needs to produce the same energy.
Solar and wind each receive more than 50 times more subsidy support per megawatt hour than conventional coal, and more than 20 times more in terms of average electricity generated by coal and natural gas.

FORBES: Tax-Blowing Boondoggle: Don't Give Wind Energy More Credit Than It Deserves
Ted Wiley, an Aquion vice president, tells me the company is currently deploying in the kilowatt-hour scale, but will have megawatt-hour systems online next year.
Facilities that achieve 60 percent efficiency will be eligible for a full REC per megawatt-hour.
FORBES: Massachusetts Addresses "Biomass Loophole" and Limits Subsidies
In fact, government and power plant data show that burning woody biomass releases 1.5 times as much carbon dioxide per megawatt-hour generated as coal, according to the Massachusetts Environmental Energy Alliance.
FORBES: Massachusetts Addresses "Biomass Loophole" and Limits Subsidies
Specifically, the regulations require that biomass facilities must be 50 percent efficient slightly better than a state-of-the-art, coal-fired power plant to be eligible for one-half of a renewable energy certificate (REC) per megawatt-hour.

The rule for existing sources, now under development, would work like this: Because coal and gas are combined in a single category, the EPA would cap an average rate of, say, 1, 400 pounds of CO2 per megawatt-hour.
May 18, approximately 200-350 megawatts of wind generation per hour, totaling about 1, 400 megawatt hours, were impacted.
FORBES: Forced Outages for Northwest Wind Farms - 13 Gigs Wasted and Still Counting
Tracking website Blockchain logged 982 megawatt hours of electricity consumption over a 24-hour period by Bitcoin miners around the world.
During that six hour period (from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM), slightly less than 1, 000 megawatts per hour of wind generation, totaling about 5, 700 megawatt hours, were impacted.

During that six hour period (from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM), approximately 600 to 1, 200 megawatts per hour of wind generation, totaling about 5, 300 megawatt hours, were impacted.
FORBES: Forced Outages for Northwest Wind Farms - 13 Gigs Wasted and Still Counting
Higgins intends to attach to the line 200 megawatts (peak output) of windmills, ostensibly generating electricity at a cost of 7 cents a kilowatt-hour, and has contracted to buy all the output of a 65-megawatt solar plant that would be an eco-loss-leader costing 25 cents per kwh.
