If my math is correct: giga equals a billion equals 1,000 million; so in the case
at hand, 3,000 megawatts are equal to 3 gigawatts. Then the big wind farm at
3,000 megawatts will be able to produce a little over one-half of one percent
of California 55,657 gigawatt requirement.

The dollar measure just using the $1.2 bil for 570 megawatts means a
minimum of a little over $2.0 bil for a single gigawatt. If 55,657 are needed, it
looks a tad expensive, to say nothing of the environmental impact of wind
farms, solar arrays, and other generation means.
