Hi Robert

We receive our utility bills in kWh and it will be
easier to visualise the nation and world's energy
consumption in the same pattern.  Also the output of
nuclear and hydro-electric power plants is expressed
only in TWh.  Joule's may be good for purists, but for
a layman kWh & TWh is good enough.

Afterall TWh is a SI unit, but not MTOE (million tons
oil equivalent).
