He should have said "power" not electricity

Humans dissipate power in the range of old tungsten lamps - on the order of 100W at rest, brains use about 20% of that, so 20W - about the same as an energy efficient globe

Hi. I'm just curious what part of the world you're from that light bulbs are called a globe?

Cheers.

Yeah we call them light globes in Australia, as well as bulbs
