	The answer is almost smack on your face; 5MW divided by the efficiency of generator . __________________ leokhk@yahoo.com

	If you slice open a horse, 746 watts will spill out of it. You will need a watt mop to clean it up off of the floor. __________________ All I every really wanted to be, was... A LUMBERJACK!.

	If you slaughter a horse, slice it into 746 pieces then you can cook one horse with a fire of 746watts. __________________ If there is a will... there is a way... No pain / No gain.
