    The imperial system doesn’t have any electromagnetism units that I’m aware of, so they borrow from SI.

      The Watt predates the SI itself. SI borrows the Watt much as it dues with other units.

      We can use horsepower hours if you’d like. Or BTU

        I’m all for paying my electric bill in horsepower/hours. That feels very American. How many V8s is my house?

          I’d be horsepower * hour, since horsepower is a unit, of, well, power, and [Energy] = [Power]*[Time]

          But might as well go for an obscure time unit as well at that point. Horsepower Sennights, baby
