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.
Kilowatt-hour definition. Kilowatt-hour is an energy unit (symbol kWh or kWâh). One kilowatt-hour is defined as the energy consumed by power consumption of 1kW during 1 hour: 1 kWh = 1kW â 1h. One kilowatt-hour is equal to 3.6â106 joules: 1 kWh = 3.6â106 J.
