[edit] Units

2000 watts per what? year? hour? day? (Pardon my ignorance, but this is such a basic piece of info and should be prominent in the article, yet isn't stated anywhere as far as I can see; sorry, also don't have time to search for this myself.) Brockle 14:15, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Watt is Energy per Time (better: Joule per second). It is not Watt-hour or other energy units. Cate | Talk 15:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
i.e. 2,000 watts = 7,200,000 joules/hour Gralo 16:15, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you guys, I read this article too, and was like, uhhhh, help? Perhaps if someone who understood that (units) could through it out there when they had time, that would be excellent. Wayfarer 16:17, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Just revised the intro to include a comparison to kilowatt-hours. Hope that might help... Gralo 17:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More on units

This was a stupid comment, I did not considered that it relate to all energy, not just electrical...
