I suspect that he really did mean kWh.  

However, there is a much bigger issue.  We have an uphill battle trying to 
inform and educate journalists who write about energy matters without having a 
clue about the difference between kW and kWh.  Moreover if you are interviewed 
on renewable energy matters by a magazine or newspaper journalist, as I have 
been many times, they generally refuse to let you read their draft article, 
claiming that you are trying to exercise censorship.  I have been told this even 
when I said that I just wanted to make sure that they got their facts right 
and that they used the right terms to describe energy and power.  Two of the 
articles (Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle) were sufficiently 
embarrassing to me (due to mistakes made by the reporters) that I stopped giving 
interviews.

Has anyone else in this group had a similar problem with the media?
