> Annual human global power consumption is only 20TW. Whatever the original post, "annual consumption" could only be measured in TWh, which is several orders of magnitude larger than installed capacity (usually given in MW). Popular media usually mix these so one has to just guess based on context. (And annual consumption is usually misleading in this context due to seasonality of both hydro/wind production, and the higher power demand during winter.)
