Comment on Power is not energy: why the difference matters [Technology Connections]
MBM@lemmings.world 3 weeks agoYou get a comparison of electric vs natural gas flow in your energy bill? Wow!!
I mean, there are countries where natural gas is billed per kWh. And the OP said
And kW and kWh are still commony used measurement if you don’t use electricity. Diesel or propane heaters have labels on them on how many watts they can output right next to the fuel consumption per hour and so on.

Really? That’s interesting, since I’ve only seen something like BTU (therms in my area) for heat content or CCF for volume. I know they can be readily converted to kWh w/ a calculator, it just seems odd, especially when everything seems to be advertised in BTU (e.g. furnaces).
