Television is ephemeral, a fact that some will find reassuring. But earthlings will continue to pump the kilowatts into the ether. And eventually, when those signals have washed over a few hundred thousand star systems, someone may notice.

Energy and bitcoin work really well together because you can pay out in micro-transaction units. As the energy gets used, they pay out, and it's by the kilowatt rather than by the month.

American Businessman

Kilowatt quantifies the rate of energy conversion or transfer and is common in discussions about electricity and appliances.

Measuring Power

Often used to describe energy use over time in kilowatt-hours, which is important for understanding electricity bills.

Energy Consumption

Look for 'kilowatts' on the specifications of appliances to know how much power they consume or produce.

 Here are the physics principles that tell you how to reduce the energy consumption of transport. People often say, "Technology can answer everything. We can make vehicles that are 100 times more efficient." And that's almost true. Let me show you. The energy consumption of this typical tank here is 80 kilowatt hours per hundred person kilometers.

 to power whatever you want to provide propulsion to get you there, but you have power once you get there. You know, rocket designers who use solar panels or fuel cells, I mean a few watts or kilowatts -- wow, that's a lot of power. I mean, now we're talking about 100 megawatts. That's a ton of power.

 But I had never heard of a petawatt hour until I wrote a book on climate change solutions. That's because it's so big. But that's the scale I want to talk about. A petawatt hour is a trillion kilowatt hours. And today the world generates about 25 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity each year.

 which is the typical energy consumption for cooling a glass tower, to 40 kilowatts per square meter per year. So with the right design, sustainability is nothing but the rigorous use of common sense.
