This article is completely wrong.

Watts doesn’t have a time factor at all.

Power is measured in W (Watts).
Energy is measured in J (Joule’s), or Wh (Watt-hours) where 1 Wh = 3600 J.

So 1.21GW is enough power to light 12.1 million 100 W bulbs, if you kept them powered for 1s you would use 1.21GJ of energy, which is 3.36MWh.

I can’t believe how badly the article gets it wrong.

I’m an engineer, I work with this stuff regularly.
