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 easiest way to illustrate a kilowatt hour is to use the example of a 100 watt lightbulb: One kilowatt hour of energy is equal to 1,000 watt hours or the equivalent of lighting a 100 watt light bulb for 10 hours. (100 watts x 10 hours = 1,000 wattâhours = 1 kWh).Believe it or not, a kilowatt hour can go pretty far.Here are some examples of a typical use of a single kWh:ne kilowatt hour of energy is equal to 1,000 watt hours or the equivalent of lighting a 100 watt light bulb for 10 hours.
