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.
One watt hour is equivalent to 3,600 joules (1 J/s Ã 3600 s), thus a kilowatt hour is 3,600,000 joules or 3.6 megajoules, and a kilowatt refers to the specific rate at which the amount of joules is used in a second (also known as power).he amount of wattage times the amount of time is the amount of work done. It is not used in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit of energy is the joule (J), equal to one watt second. The kilowatt hour is commonly used, though, especially for measuring electric energy.
