| Feb 6, 2022 at 19:28 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @Rodney I see what you mean. Units fixed. When I initially searched for a metric unit that handles like the BTU (energy to heat 1 pound of water 1 degree F) what I found was calories. But you're right, joules or KWH is more malleable. | |

| Feb 6, 2022 at 5:51 | comment | added | Rodney | The metric unit of energy is the Joule not the calorie, and "calories per KWH" is not a unit it's a scale factor between two different unit systems, like "inches per light year" which would also be an "ungainly" number. In the UK energy from the utility companies is priced per KWH whether it is electrical or gas, a conversion factor is used to convert from the volume measured by the gas meter to the KWH value that goes into the bill. | |
