Also, not all of the items you list are typically given in the same unit of power. The three main ways to measure power are: Horsepower: Work Watts: Electricity BTU: Heat In order to be able to contrast/compare the energy consumption of the items you list relatively easily, you'll need to be able to convert between the various measures of power. Here is a table that will help you: Kilowatts Watts Kilowatts x 1000 Watts Kilowatts Watts x 0.001 Megawatts Kilowatts Megawatts x 1000 Kilowatts Megawatts Kilowatts x 0.001 Gigawatts Megawatts Gigawatts x 1000 Megawatts Gigawatts Megawatts x .001 Gigawatts Watts Gigawatts x 1 billion Watts Btu/hour Watts x 3.413 Btu/hour Watts Btu/hour x 0.293 Kilowatts Btu/hour Kilowatts x 3414 Btu/hour Kilowatts Btu/hour x 0.000293 Watts Horsepower Watts x 0.00134 Horsepower Watts Horsepower x 746 Kilowatts Horsepower Kilowatts x 1.34 Horsepower Kilowatts Horsepower x 0.746 With this table, you can simply look up the energy consumption for each item, convert it to your desired unit, and compare. Here are some quick/dirty numbers I found doing a quick search: Television = about 120w Water heater(electric) = about 5500w Toaster = 900w Lamp = about 75w car = 35 horsepower (highway cruising) torch(flashlight) = about 5w Cell Phone = about 1w Gas Grill = varies WIDELY about 50000BTU The energy consumption of the items you mention can vary widely, depending on the item.
