"Currently the turbines produce 2 KW hours per year, representing 30 per cent of the energy of an average American household, with the company expecting a 3 KW system in 9 months, which according to Hess would produce 90 per cent of the energy required by an average household."
2 Kilo Watts hours per year = 30 per cent of the energy of an average American household, I find it very hard to believe an American household only uses 6.7KW hours a year.
How can an increase from 2 KW to 3 KW (a 50% increase in power) give rise to an increase from 30% to 90% (a 300% increase)of required power ?

It does not add up.

Hess needs to redo his maths
