Default Genset Over kill

Company in Irving Texas. Has a 25 thousand KW generator for sale. Powered by a four cylinder Isuzu diesel. Must be some damn big turbos on that engine.

25 thousand KW = 25 megawatts (25,000,000). I'm thinking a 4 banger Isuzu diesel would probably have a tough time just spinning that big unit over without even putting any electrical load on it.

Probably break the crank shaft just trying to move the rotor. I see these kinds of misprints all the time.Guess proofreaders are no longer being used.
