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 kilowatt hour is 3 600 000 watt seconds. The watt second is used, for example, to rate the energy storage of flash lamps used in photography, although the term joule is generally employed. Terms such as watts per hour (W/h) are often misused when watts would be correct.
