You're comparing GW (nameplate capacity, how much it can generate at a given instant) with GWH (amount generated over the course of a year) which makes things look a lot worse than it is.

It's stlll not enough; I'm expecting the rate of decarbonization to pick up as the factories to support it are finished

Oh thanks. Glad I was misreading something.

It's admittedly very confusing that "kw" unit is already "per time", where just about anything else we measure over time SAYS "per time" in the unit- mph, gpm, cfm... we should learn to speak J/s !
