Thanks for finding that. The result seemed odd. So 337 gigawatts for jet fuel instead of megawatts. That will dwarf google, we'll need to compare to something

So 337 gigawatts for jet fuel instead of megawatts. That will dwarf google, we'll need to compare to something bigger.
Lets convert to annual kilowatt hours, 337GW24h365= 2950 billion kWh.
In 2007 it was estimated that the total power consumption of the internet was 868 billion kWh. [1]
So now we have three times the energy in jet air transport as in powering the internet. I have to say this feels better.
