I think we had the same though at the same time. Did you also hit your head on the toilet?

What is strange about it? Normal power plants have 2-3 gigawatts. Gas turbine having 300MW is probably just below average. What am I missing? Is it some US thing where G scale is not 10^9?

It's a joke about the movie Back To The Future and 1.21 Jiggawatts.

They probably did that deliberately, like when Google IPO'd for $2,718,281,828.
