Satellites reveal heat leaking from largest US cry...
I think a large steel foundry uses approximately 1/10 of the power of this facility.
Arc furnace foundry : 500 kw/tonne
Production : 150 t/hr
500*150 = 75 MW/h

I'm not 100% but I think you may have confused watts and watt hours somewhere in there. Wouldn't it be X kWh/ton?
