Question: How big would the drag - device area, A _ drag, have to be if we were to make a drag - based wind energy

How big would the drag-device area, A_drag, have to be if we were to make a drag-based wind energy harvester-cart that should deliver an (ideal) power output of P=1MW in a V_inf=10m/s wind with density rho=1.225kg/m^3? The drag coefficient of the aerodynamic object on the drag cart is C_D=1.4.
