11. Article is fine. Whoever wrote the headline needs re-education...
Take away the "watts of Energy" and "per day" and they are simply referring to the long-term averaged power draw. And it is fine to do so -- it would be easier for people to rate themselves by watts than watt-hours-per-arbitrary-time-period. It works out to a nice normal-range number like their own weight, height, and blood pressure.

All they had to do was not let the pointy-haired editor boss put a bad headline on, and then just the first time they say watts, say average watts. Then they'd have been pretty clear.
