      You’re mixing up units, and I’m not sure what you’re saying.

      Watts are a unit of power. Watt hours are a unit of energy.

      The link you gave, which is not Wikipedia, describes 180,000 TWh of energy used in 2025, 2,811 TWh of which came from solar.

        Did I say it was a wikpedia link, or did I say it was a wikipedia source?

        Does the OP link say GW or GWh?

        Fuck off. You’re a failure of a pedant.

          Oh, I was gently warning you that you were unintentionally wrong. OP’s link is about power, and your link is about energy, and you’ve somehow managed to completely misread it.

          But if you’re gonna dig in your heels, then sure. Continue being wrong. Being a dick about it won’t make others take you seriously.

            You literally wrote the wrong unit. What a loathsome fucking wretch you are. Stupid, antagonistic, smarmy. This place is more reddit every day.

              You’re thinking of OP (or the original article’s title), the person you’ve been talking to here is someone else

                Either way, OP is correct. The linked article talks about power capacity, not energy produced. This jackass decided to come in and call another website a “Wikipedia source,” misquote a completely different and irrelevant energy stat by 4 orders of magnitude, using a power unit, and bring some kind of attitude with it.

                  Think about this for literally five seconds you fucking moron.

                  Does wikipedia link to itself as a source?

                  What do you think the word ‘source’ means?

          What a stupid thing to get upset about. Just cite the source, why did you bring Wikipedia into it if you’re not gonna reference what it was cited for there…

          If you find an article on Google, do you call it a Google source?

            I found a claim on wikipedia and then linked the source it listed. So literally the exact thing you’re telling me to do as if you weren’t completely wrong about what was happening.
