From the wiki page:

> When this effect is taken into account, typical gamma-ray bursts are observed to have a true energy release of about 1044 J, or about 1/2000 of a Solar mass (M) energy equivalent

So more, by about 6000 times.

This is consistant with WolframAlpha's output for amount of energy: 5.361e47 J. I tried to convert this to "number of years we could power the Earth", but it just changed it from one mind boggling number into another.

Copy-paste error here from losing sup/sub formatting, that's 10^44 J, not 1044 J.
