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.
A kiloWatt hour is simply: The amount of electricity used (1000 Watts = 1 kiloWatts), in kiloWatts. multiplied by. The number of hours the energy is used. Usually the calculation states the time period such as one day, one month or one year.
