Quoth the Engineers: Conversion Confusion
From a conference call this morning
"... pretty important, as that's a 900-horsepower plant..."
He didn't realize what he'd said, but he pretty obviously meant a 900 megawatt plant. (FWIW, 900hp is only about ~0.7 MW.)
Glad I had my mic muted so he didn't hear me snickering. ;P
