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.
For starters, a Kilowatt (kW) is just one thousand watts, just like a megawatt (mW) is one million watts. A watt (W) is a measurement of POWER. To be precise it's using one joule per second. kilowatt is a unit of power, while a kilowatt hour is a unit of  energy. Power is the rate that energy is used. This means that  something that operates at 1 kilowatt for â¦ 1 hour uses 1 kilowatt  hour of energy.
