The Las Vegas Sphere might have an impressive spec sheet, but its energy demands are almost as staggering.

    Because Joule is the SI unit of energy, meanwhile the Watt is the SI unit of power, equivalent to one Joule per second.

    “Converting” joules to watts would be like converting m/s to US dollars.

      I liked the analogy but I do think it would be clearer to say something like joules = money in bank account and Watt = spending per second
