  1. And this, children, is a perfect show of the public ignorance about energy.
    “Atomic bomb goes boom, must be lots of energies”.
    Yes, atomic bomb liberate lot of energy, but the point of an explosion is to liberate it in a short time.
    Let’s remember for instance that a candle (paraffin) “release more energy” than a stick of dynamite; would you conclude from that “no wonder your cake looks a mess”?

    Tomorrow we’ll learn about the difference between installed MW and produced MWh.
