"316,227,766,000 petajoules (316,227 petawatts)” This makes no sense. Anyone have any idea what it means?"

Watts you talkin about, Willis?

A single petawatt is 1,000,000,000,000,000 (a quadrillion) watts. Compared to a blowdryer, or a microwave, at about 1,000 watts. You wouldn't want to get too close.

Gotta figure out what that statement is supposed to be about. Watts and joules don't measure the same thing. Watts are a measurement of power, joules of energy.

Now, watt-SECONDS and joules, those are the same.

316,227,766,000 petajoules != 316,227 petawatt-seconds, though. Not by a long shot.
