IM GOING CRAZY WHY THIS SITE SAYS 3000 GIGAWATTS INSTEADOkay, this will be my last hope for it
Here, it's stated that the brightest auroras can generate up to at least 96 gigawatts
Dabura's aurora was done mid daylight, something that the brightest aurora could only do by sunrise (Carringon event)
Intense auroras can last around 24h to 48h. Using 24h
24h = 86400 seconds
86400*96 gigawatts = 8.2944e+15 joules
