We're getting closer to energy solutions... New Turbine.

Kyros said:

2 GW / 6 MW = 333 of the largest wind turbines for one huge nuclear reactor

Because of that I said bigger ones and not biggest. 6MW turbines are gigantic and definitely not the norm of what is build today. (Although I would like to know how big the average wind turbine is). The wind turbines I have seen deployed widely in California are definitely not in MW category.

Wind Energy in California

Utility-scale wind turbines are classified by size as follows: small (less than 50 kilowatts [kW]); intermediate (50 to 500 kW); and large (above 500 kW). Small and intermediate turbines make up the bulk of the older installed turbine base, but new turbines installed in the late 1990s are generally 600 kW and larger.

It seems that most of California's wind power is based on old technology.

Example of an under-construction wind farm:

It uses Enercon E-82 turbines (rated for 2 MW), and E-70 (rated for 2.3 MW).
