It wouldn't be the first time the giant corporations were wrong.
General Electric wasted lots of time and money following Edison in his effort
to sell DC power, including brutally electrocuting domestic animals with ac
trying to convince the public that DC was safe,

You might be correct, Norm, but all the energy companies and utilities I deal
with daily in connection with my business use "kWhr" and "MW" so go figure....

I recall a long time ago I was taught that units above one were to be upper
case (Meg, Kilo) and less than one were to be lower case (milli, micro), a
standard that appears to be followed in many cases.
We wouldn't use mHz for mega Hertz, so it should be "KWh".

Actually, Norm, I believe the correct abbreviation is "aH" - I think <g>....
I think the reasoning is the same as why kilowatt hours and kilowatts are
shortened to "kWh" and kWh"....
But I think all are acceptable....
And my spellchecker just confirmed that, for whatever that's worth.
