Billions of watts are wasted every year including 1955, 1985, and 2015. Be kind to the environment and keep your speed under 88 miles per hour. The space-time continuum appreciates it.
Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.
Save the Space Time Continuum – Do Not Exceed 88 Miles Per Hour
In 1955, though, the flux capacitor was driven by a natural and renewable source, lightning. And by 2015 Doc had his Mr. Fusion appliance, which turned ordinary garbage into the stuff stars are made of.
so did the train in BTFIII take more or less ba-gigabawatts?
@rich: thanks for reminding me that this is the internet.
Ah. I’ve been finding ways of plugging your site in mine. Now I have it!
Number of Mr. Fusion units needed to power each device:
Laptop: 1
Light bulb: 1
Television: 1
Refrigerator: 1
Coffee Maker: 1
Air-Conditioner: 1
Time-traveling DeLorean: 1
It all depends on your choice of units.

I do believe that it was 1.21 jiggawats instead of gigawatts.
@Mlah: no such thing as a jiggawat…He mispronounced gigawatt in the movie.
