Maybe they meant gigawatts-hour, a unit of energy, although a bizarre one to use in any case.
- mietek 14y agoWhy is it a bizarre unit? I'm billed for my electricity use in kW/h.
- jules 14y agoNo, you're billed in kWh.
- philwelch 14y agoIn SI, energy is measured in joules, and power is measured in watts. One watt is one joule per second. It's indirect to say "watt-hour", because in effect you're saying joules per second times hours when you could have just said joules.
- orijing 14y agoThat's true. I just think of kilowatt-hours as a single unit, like Joule. That way it's no more bizarre than saying Newtons instead of kg m/s^2
