Notice that the reporter leaves out the area factor, energy per unit of area. You must specify that or the statement has little meaning.

The energy of visible light measured where? Just outside the Earth’s atmosphere? On the beach at sea level in LA in June?

&c. &c.

The most ignorant people are journalists these days.

I believe the story does address that, by expressing it as a range.
