"Argh! You might be more convincing if you didn't keep confusing units of power and units of energy -- they are not the same!!!! "

Are referring to my quote of involving "13,000 ZJ"?

Ok, scratch that reference.

But my problem wasn't confusing those units, but rather not paying enough attention to the inclusion of "several millennia".
And 31,536,000 seconds in a year times "several millennia" is too mushy to be a useful reference- and it didn't really click in my mind that they were actually talking about thousands of years. And on top of that they probably don't even mean recoverable energy- can you say useless?

My only excuse I was simply looking for a reference regarding global Geothermal energy production and found that instead.

Anyways, other than the part about Wiki reference and graphic which was too big, is there anything else?
