It is typical to rate these machines in MW. (4.00 / 3)

In other words I think that Jerome is correct. These are capacity ratings under 'standard conditions'. It is not uncommon to assume that the rating means power-delivered. Any estimate of power supplied makes a huge assumption about everything from wind conditions to - as the author points out - manufacturing capacity.

Great (USian) diary, NBBooks. May I repost on another blog?

Yes, please do spread it around. The more the merrier.

I have already posted it on DailyKos and on epluribusmedia.org.
