Updated to add the link to the program.
I just uploaded Energy Clock 1.1, which adds wind power generation.
I used a capacity factor of 35% in the wind calculation, meaning that wind turbines produce on an average day power equal to 35% of a full day’s generation at full capacity.
Again, please feel free to spread this program around, make suggestions, etc. I can’t promise that I’ll get to everyone’s, or even anyone’s, wish list in a timely manner thanks to all the other balls I have in the air.

What is energy clock? What does it do and where exactly is it?

Excuse me while I slap myself silly for not including the link. As my mother used to say, no sense in being stupid unless you show it.
The program is here. It’s just a little Windows app that counts up US and World energy stats in real time–consumption of coal, oil, and natural gas, emission of CO2, and (now) generation of wind power.
Sorry to one and all for the gaffe.

when the world retrofits to create a negawatt we will truly understand the great glut
of electricity we now have
if everyone would rid their business & home of the energy hogs kwh price would drop to approx
3 cents
(negawatt) a watt of electricity that no longer needs to generated,because an energy saving measure has replace the need for it
