	~~Hey~~, ~~good~~ to ~~find someone who aegres with me~~. ~~GMTA~~.		It seems more often than not that when i read an article in a newspaper, the writers and editors confuse kilowatts for kilowatt-hours, or vice versa. I will keep a list here.

			:"The projected energy generated from Project Amp after four years is approximately 733 megawatts (MW) of solar power, which is similar to the total amount of PV power installed in the entire U.S. in 2010."

			I wrote to the author at NREL to clarify the press release if possible. In the above sentence, it looks like the author didn't want to use the proper word 'power' as the subject, since it is repeated at the end of the first clause, and that repetition would be stylistically awkward. However, it is improper to use energy as a synonym, and accuracy is more important than style in an informative article like this.
