A U.S. Department of Energy report estimates that over 100 billion kWh/year can be saved in the United States by various energy-
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

(a). 12 plants

(b). 3171 $

Explanation:

(a)first convert units of 100 billion kWh/year into Watts(W)

also convert the units of 1000 MW into Watts(W)

1 billion = 10^9

1 year = 365*24 = 8760 hrs

so

100 billion kWh/year = 1\frac{100*(10^9)*(10^3)}{8760}

                                  = 1.142*10^{10}W

1000 MW                  = 1000*10^{6} = 10^{9}W

no. of plants = \frac{1.14155*10^{10} }{10^9} = 11.4

So 12 plants required        

(b)

savings = unit price*total units

             = 0.1 * 1.142*10^{10}( \frac{1}{1000*3600} )

             = 3170.9 =3171 $
