I mean, for most people calories don't translate to heat well, bc of the association with food. Watts is a bit better because most folks have had experience with a 100-watt light bulb. But for a lot of people "proper" units might as well be in Aramaic.
Assuming one feels the need to try and convey the number (the article works fine without it), I'd use something that conveyed the heat in a non-explosive fashion. E.g., the amount trapped per day is about the equivalent of the amount of energy produced by the USA per day.

That's a good one. I only ask because conveying such things is not easy and I have discovered that *many* people don't have an intuitive sense of it (and why should they?)
