Where weight is the major consideration, aluminum is used. A material’s ability to conduct electricity also depends on its dimensions. 2. By way of comparison, a typical nuclear power plant is 1000 megawatts, and a typical coal power plant is about 400~700 megawatts. No other renewable technology can match the rapid growth of wind power in the 1980’s. 3. (In effect, the television camera takes 30 pictures of the object in front of it during one second.) The television receiver presents these pictures to your eyes at the same time rate, if the object before the camera is moving, its change of position from one picture to the next appears smooth and unbroken to
