Too small to see at this scale; the bar has not been widened.
Bar length represents energy. Equal energy does not imply the same temperature, power or usefulness.
A little perspective
10 petajoules is about 10,000 times an industrial terajoule.

How to read the visual
The diagram uses the recorded measurements. Details outside the marked spans do not set the scale.
- An industrial terajoule: This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same.
Energy is an amount; power describes the rate of energy transfer or use.
