How much power could $36 million dollars worth of solar panels produce over 1 year I wonder? And then keep them going for 30 years? And another $180 million worth of panels over the next 5 years, and millions more in panels up to 2050? I feel like the power produced by an array that size over 30 years would far eclipse the value of what little carbon this will extract.

El Capitan can accomplish in one second what would require roughly one million of the fastest smartphones working simultaneously to do, according to Livermore.

… in how much time? It does in one second what a million smartphones do in a day? Minute? Hour?

This is either missing a unit of time or it’s a convoluted way of saying it’s as powerful as a million smartphones.
