Rebuild Staten Island
I read a lot of items related to energy and power. It seems that large numbers of writers on the subject do not know the difference between energy and power or the units of energy and power. This article mentions a unit of gigawatts per year. The watt is a unit of power or the rate of energy use and already contains the per time unit 1 watt = 1 joule/sec. The proper unit here, if power is intended, is just gigawatt. I believe that this article intends the unit to represent energy, which can be represented as power X time, in this case gigawatt-hr would be appropriate and one could refer to gigawatt-hr/year. As a physicist, I find that when units are incorrect, the clarity of the writing suffers greatly.
