Am I missing some famous quote about Jupiter providing warp speed energy or something?

They are saying the energy needed by calculation would be equal to the mass of Jupiter. Now the math says they can do it using an energy mass of thousands of pounds. Previously it was the energy equivalent of 3 suns. Soon it will be the energy equivalent of running your microwave... However, that's just my anti-hypothesis.
