Ang magasing lumalabas tuwing ikatlong buwan na Alaska Geographic na may artikulong Aurora Borealis —The Amazing Northern Lights, na inilathala noong 1979, ay nag-uulat na “ang kuryente na kaugnay sa pagsabog ng aurora ay napakalakas, halos 1,000 bilyong watt, o taunang 9,000 bilyong kilowatt hour —higit pa sa kasalukuyang taunang konsumo sa kuryente ng E.U., na kulang lamang nang kaunti sa 1,000 bilyong kilowatt hour!”
The Alaska Geographic quarterly Aurora Borealis —The Amazing Northern Lights, published in 1979, reports that “the electrical power associated with the auroral discharge is enormous, about 1,000 billion watts, or annual 9,000 billion kilowatt hours— more than the present annual U.S. electric power consumption, which is a little less than 1,000 billion kilowatt hours!”jw2019 jw2019
