The table shows the distribution, by location and power capacity (maximum rate of power generation) of the twenty largest wind projects in the United States in 2013.
| State | Power capacity |
|---|---|
| Low | |
| Texas | 4 |
| California | 1 |
| Oregon | 1 |
| Indiana | 0 |
| Colorado | 1 |
| Iowa | 2 |
| Oklahoma | 1 |
| Total | 10 |
The total power capacity of the nine wind projects located in Texas was 15,000 megawatts (MW). The total power capacity of the two wind projects located in California was 1,280 megawatts (MW). The amount of energy produced in one hour at a rate of one megawatt is one megawatt-hour.
If the average power capacity of a Texas project is MW and the average power capacity of a California project is MW, which of the following statements is true regarding the energy produced by one average Texas project operating for 100 hours compared to one average California project operating for 100 hours?
An average Texas project produces approximately 2.6 times more energy.
An average California project produces approximately 2.6 times more energy.
An average Texas project produces approximately 1.5 times more energy.
An average California project produces approximately 1.5 times more energy.
