So one train leaves San Francisco at 58 mph…<\/p>\n

So if you are rusty, one kilowatt hour is using 1000 watts of electricity for an hour. In their hypothetical, electricity costs $.10 per kilowatt hour (kWh). 10 million kWh at $.10 a kWh would be $1 million, nut $100,000. Something is not adding up.<\/p>\n

The three stations involved are
\n– an AM daytime only AM station at 400 watts
\n– one FM station at 100,000 watts
\n– two FM stations at 50,000 watts each
\n– 7 other FM signals totaling about 16,000 watts<\/p>\n

With the exception of the AM station, the transmitters are on 24 hours a day. The average cost of electricity in Michigan is $.13 an hour. All of the stations are in Michigan.<\/p>\n

How much power are they actually using per year and how much does it cost?<\/p>\n
