The real problem is the widespread usage of Wh as a unit of energy

It would make way more sense to use J and J/h instead



I regard that as a downstream effect of giving power a unit in the first place, but yes. We should have just stuck to J and J/s. It would have prevented the kWh and also abominations like the mAh “capacity” ratings you see on batteries.


I gotta start describing distances as mph-hours
