    Great point! He said “solar energy” which would be watthours. If he said “solar power” he could have used watts.

    Probably the least nonsense part of his statement (imo) and not the part worth an argument.

      I did some quick math assuming he meant watt-hours and it came out to the us averaging about 11 gigawatt-hours/day in 2022. I feel like we didn’t lose over double our usage during the short amount of time the few solar panels lost the sun, and if we did holy shit what are we doing with anything else.
