just one of these turbines should be able to produce enough electricity to power 36,000 households of three people each for one year.

per year? per lifetime? per second?

One year per year. And no, they obviously don't understand basic math.

I took it to mean that in 1 year it will produce the equivalent amount that 36k 3-person homes would use during that same year.

In an average year it will generate what 36k homes use on average in a year.
