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.
How electricity is measured. A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the amount of electricity produced or consumed in one hour. In Australia, the typical daily usage of a common household is around 17,000 watt-hours of power. To calculate this from watts to kWh, it would equal around 17 kilowatt-hours.
