Nothing was overlooked.  The Watt is a unit of *power*, not energy (as
the article you followed correctly indicated).  Other reports have
computed the total energy given off--slightly less than 1 KWH.  The
same amount of energy that you can buy from your local utility for
about $0.05.  About as much as your body gives off as heat during a
full day at work . . .
