[Scan-DC] Big hazmat box Bethesda (Montgomery)

[Dewey3]

Maybe they didn't realize the redundancy when they said 12,500 kW, and
really meant to say 12.5 or 12 (rounded) kW generator.  Similar to the way
a lot of people in IT call a Network Interface Card a NIC Card... saying
card twice since the "C" stands for card.  I have a 20 kW, hence 20,000
watt whole house generator on my home.
