How many joules of energy are used per capita that are generated through non-wind sources?
The total residential usage of electricity per capita in the Fort Collins, CO area is approximately 3.5 mega Watt hours (http://www.larimer.org/compass/electricity_env_use.htm#Chart2). As of 2004, 2.35% of that electricity was being generated through wind energy.
How many joules of energy are used per capita that are generated through non-wind sources?
OK so we have 3.5 Megawatt hours.
which is 3,500,000 watt*hours
1 watt-hour is 1 joule per second, times 3600 seconds, equals 3600 joules used.
Therefore 3.5 MW hours is 12,600,000,000 joules used
97.65 % of that is 12,303,900,000 joules used per capita of energy generated from non-wind sources
You could express your answer as 12,303,900 kilojoules,
or about 12,304 Megajoules
