The quote from the article is it takes a tanker truck of diesel every 45 minutes to fire _just 4 LM6000 turbines_ providing 30MW each. Ouch. It’s even worse than this summarized line:

The last update I had about Iraq electricity output was around 5000 Megawatts in December (Capacity of approximately 8845MW by one source, 7000MW by another). Another source claimed 2800 megawatts of the country's potential 7,100 megawatts was disrupted at that time. By the way, is Adam the guy of Global Guerillas? That would explain the match, but that would also mean likely conflicting data with mine and Adams. * Shortage of power nationwide: 4000 megawatts.
