French to German translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation
French term or phrase: un carré de 2000 km de côté Kontext: Sachant que la consommation électrique annuelle totale des Etats-Unis est d'environ 4'000 TWh (25% de la consommation mondiale): Quelle serait la surface nécessaire à produire une telle quantité d'éléctricité avec des usines solaires thermiques à concentration? a) un carré de 2'000 km de côte b) un carré de 800 km de côté Im Internet habe ich einen Text gefunden, in dem das so übersetzt wird: un carré de 1 km de côte = 1 Quadrat von 1 x 1 km. Mir scheint, dass das = 1km2 ist. Gemäss Autor gibts aber einen Unterschied. Weiss da jemand mehr?

Peter Kissik Germany 11:42 Jun 26, 2008  Nun, 4 Mio Quadratkilometer ist nicht gerade eine kleine Fläche, Quadrat mit 2000 km Seitenlänge erscheint bei einem flüchtigen Blick weniger... Martina Amstutz ASKER 09:10 Jun 26, 2008  Ich glaube, hier will der Autor die Fläche möglichst klein erscheinen lassen, da er für Solaranlagen wirbt... Oder eben zur Anschaulickeit. Schtroumpf 08:57 Jun 26, 2008  Ist kein Unterschied, auch nicht zwischen 2000 x 2000 km und 4 Mio km2. Das ist einfach zur Anschaulichkeit, damit der Leser sich die Fläche besser vorstellen kann.

Notes to answerer Asker: Hab ich jetzt auch gerade in einem anderen Text so gesehen. Hast du eine Ahnung, warum man das so kompliziert ausdrückt? 4 Mio Quadratkilometer ist doch viel einfacher...?
