Considering all of the errors and mistakes government makes, the post about A Flock of Seagulls seems to be a perfect case of the pot calling the kettle black. (Not to mention that there is no such animal as a seagull).
An electric heater rated at 1000 watts (1 kilowatt), operating for one hour uses one kilowatt-hour (equivalent to 3.6 megajoules) of energy. A television rated at 100 watts operating for 10 hours continuously uses one kilowatt-hour. A 40-watt light bulb operating continuously for 25 hours uses one kilowatt-hour.
The kilowatt hour, the energy expended by a 1000 watt device in one hour, is commonly used as a billing unit for energy delivered to consumers by electric utilities. This tool converts kilowatts to volt-ampere (kw to va) and vice versa. 1 kilowatt = 1000 volt-ampere. The user must fill one of the two fields and the conversion will become automatically.
