A power plant burns coal and generates an average of 600.0 MW of electrical power while discharging 960.00 MW as waste heat. Find the total electrical energy generated by the plant in a 30-day period.
| Power is energy per unit time. Watts are in units of Joules/second, so you must calculate how many seconds there are in 30 days. |
