"just one of these turbines should be able to produce enough electricity to power 36,000 households of three people each for one year"

Does this imply that a turbine only lasts 1 year?

How does it imply that?

I think parent is pointing out the unnecessary “for one year” part. What is the purpose of that?

I assume that this turbine should be able to supply those 36,000 households for an arbitrary amount of time, not just one year.

lmao yeah dude they replace it every year.
