What Does That Mean?
Let's look at manageable units of production, such as a PV manufacturing facility that produces 5MW of solar panels per year.
How many terajoules does a 5MW array produce?
It's about 10,000MWhrs - or 36 terajoules.
Global use is 580 million terajoules.
This says replacing all energy requires about 20 million times this amount.
