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.
Standard unit of electrical power equal to 1000 watts, 1.34 horsepower, or an energy consumption rate of 1000 joules per second. Use Kilowatt (kW) in a sentence. Electric companies will often round a bill up to the closest kilowatt hour on a monthly statement even when rounding down would have made more sense. It was a ten kilowatt charger and that was really great because we had a lot of items that needed to be charged.
