It’s painful.

One of the worst-offending categories is electric/alternative vehicles. I regularly see articles written by the “science guy” for major newspapers that:

- use measures of energy and power interchangeably
- fail to account for entire segments of the process of moving a car
- get estimates wrong by obvious scale factors

Sometimes they’re combined. My favorite was a report according to which a car would be fitted with a solar panel “capable of generating 2 kW of energy”.

Idiots.

My car has a quantum singularity providing 2 exawatts of POWER!
