Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning people consider the heat output by a 100 Watt light bulb and a human to be the same. Yes, I know that light bulbs put out some of their energy as light but it degrades to heat after a few surface bounces.<br /><br />The 200 Watts of supplemental energy is lumpy. A typical fire produces/consumes far more than 200 Watts but it is not continuous. Things like teepee poles and the like last a long time.<br /><br />No effort is made to work the Calories in meat back to the calories in the vegetation the animals consumed. Some hunter-gatherer cultures like the Potlatch cultures of western, coastal North America consumed mostly animal foods .

That is unless you're saying 2KW continuously,<br />I do see your point though. My solar system puts in around 3kw a day and the system uses about a third of that to run so a net of 2KW a day which excludes driving, etc., hot water and cooking. It will provide much more but I don't need it.lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00011213166003657827noreply@blogger.com
