    TNG enterprise reactor creates 12.75 billion gigawatts and has a crew of around 1000. For comparison, One World Trade Center uses 110 mega watts for 8,000 people.

    Edit:

    A better comparison is the ISS which uses an absolute maximum of 17kw per astronaut for lights/computers/air/water/heat.

    That’s 17 Megawatts for the Enterprise ~1000 crew?

    So that’s 17 *10^9 / 12.7 *10^18 =

    Life support uses about 1 billionth of the Enterprise’s power.

    Data: Shields are at 10%

    Captain: Transfer life support to shields

    Data: Shields are now at 10.0000001%
