- hn_throwaway_99 6y agoThat statement doesn't make any sense without a unit for the amount of sunshine.
- marcosdumay 6y ago> year of intense sunshine per square meter. Both are fair small quantities. From the Wikipedia, D+T fusion leads to 17.6MeV, while their total energy is around 4.5GeV, so 1% is overstating it a few times.
