(665.4) 58:2.1 The planetary atmosphere filters through to the earth about one two-billionth of the sun’s total light emanation. If the light falling upon North America were paid for at the rate of two cents per kilowatt-hour, the annual light bill would be upward of 800 quadrillion dollars. Chicago’s bill for sunshine would amount to considerably over 100 million dollars a day. And it should be remembered that you receive from the sun other forms of energy — light is not the only solar contribution reaching your atmosphere. Vast solar energies pour in upon Urantia embracing wave lengths ranging both above and below the recognition range of human vision.*
It appears they are giving us enough information so that with a little simple dimensional analysis anyone with some basic math skills can calculate how much energy the sun puts out. However it is interesting that the author quotes the kilowatt-hour and equates it with light emanation and then again wavelengths above and below visable light.
Not quite certain what the real message is here.
