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 math: ------. Simpler answer: Energy used per day is measured in watt-hours, or more usually kilowatt-hours, and a typical house might use 35 kilowatt-hours per day. That is equal to 1.458 kilowatt-hours per hour, in other words an average power of 1.458 kilowatts.
