Watts are a unit of power, not a unit of energy. The claim is nonsense to the core.
ok so technically, a watt is directly convertable to a joule, which is a unit of energy. So he isn't wrong. But he is also wrong because he is using name plate production capacity, rather than the total produced capacity, that or he is simply fucking up the numbers. But lets be honest, homie is NOT doing the math.
A watt is a joule per second. It is not “directly convertable” any more than mile is the not a speed just because you can divide it by an hour.
Watts are power, the rate at which you can work. Joules are units of energy, how much work you can do.
He is not fucking up the numbers. He is fucking up the units…and so are you.
