” It said an investment of $800 million to $1 billion could produce more than 100 gigawatts of electricity by 2050...”

I assume the author meant to say “gigawatt hours of electricity”. Anyone purporting to report on technical matters should try to get the concepts and terminology down.

Why? Such an investment would generate a continuous flow of electricity, hence “gigawatts” not “gigawatt hours”.
