As an additional data point, BTU isn't used in Britain very much these days. As with germany, kilowatt-hour is the preferred unit of (heating) energy.

- antimagic 12y agoUm, I should have elaborated in my original post - it most definitely is still heavily used in the UK by, for example, architects when evaluating how much heating a house will need. My original post wasn't terribly clear about that, my bad... Yes, consumer-facing information these days is indeed more likely to be expressed in kilowatt-hours...
