Actually it is correct guys.
A powerplant will produce 500 megawatts over its lifetime. It will produce 500 megawatts in one second or 500 megawatts 20 years from now. You are confusing power output with total work done in time which you are billed on which is cumulative.

The coal plant will charge all of their customers 500 megawatt hours or 360,000 mwh every month or 4,320,000 mwh every year. The solar panel will do the same thing at 430 megawatt. Or your car puts out 250 hp all the time during the life of the engine. But you get reimbursed on mileage. It was a good article.
