It’s a sad reality now, 1Mwh is sloppily called “1MW” when it’s about energy, but “1MW” when it’s about power. It’s just like the ship sailed on 1 kilocalorie.m being called “one calorie” I think we can give up on this one as well.

It all gets confusing when integrating power over a strange quantity of time. I wish we had some kind of rational unit to quantify energy
Joules? Maybe you're facetious but it's hard to tell over the internet.
No. Never.

kcal and cal atleast is the same unit.
