alt Hacker NewsThe number is "approximately 16 gigawatts"
23 atomic bombs per day does not really tell me much. Both boxer's punch and a 9mm bullet have about 450 J of energy, but the effects are very different.
A better comparison would be ~550000 average US houses... or a single medium-sized aluminum smelter factory.

Want to provide a citation for either of these? This would have the average US household dissipating the equivalent of ~30kW, which does not pass the smell test for me.
Tbf a normal dude receiving a full force boxer's punch without the mitts can easily die or suffer serious brain trauma.
