🧵 REPLYING TO @pbeisel (phil beisel):
┌─ "The chemical energy required to launch a Starship is around 14 GWh equivalent. At a rate of one launch per hour, that would be ~336 GWh per day.
That’s about 13.3× Tucson’s daily delivered electricity, or 1.7× Los Angeles’s daily electricity consumption, or the energy equivalent to power 11.2 million homes for a day.
this is chemical fuel energy, not actual grid electricity"

@pbeisel 24/day would be peak. Sustained is more like ~10/day.
