Even on a measly little sports car, the heater blower would blow
a 25 amp fuse.

Not to cast dispersions on the webmaster of that site, but
unless an "Amper" is 0.5 ampere DC, Power in watts is still
equal to Volts x Amperes and a 30 ampere load at 12 volts
is still 360 watts. To be picky, it is somewhere between
about 300 and 450 watts unless it has a separate regulator.
