Could they have been mixing up megawatts and megawatt-hours? Regardless, personally, I despise the ubiquitous usage of *watt-<time> over joules.

- dredmorbius 11y agoWhy? After all, a Watt is simply a Joule/second. Watts are how we measure power. A Watt second (joule) isn't particularly useful. A watt-hour (or kWh or MWh) makes sense for many industrial processes. Otherwise we're talking 3600 Joule / kilojoule / megajoule quantities (seconds per hour). Or multiples of 86,400 per day. Sensible units aren't always decimal.
