Out of curiosity, what is the power consumption of your household?

  It is 1 household's worth of power consumption. The point he was making is that he doesn't know the exact number, but he knows how many household's worth it is.

    That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Households don't consume identical amounts of power. When an article discusses powering large numbers like this, it's using an average. If you don't know how much power your own house uses then you don't know how you compare to the average. As for knowing or not knowing the exact number, do people not read their electric bills?
