Energy crisis: UK expands gas emergency exercise ahead of winter - BBC News
Dad, what's a Therm? Old Tom Cobblers says that a British Thermal Unit is the heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Farenheit. It is confusing Dad. Is a Therm related to a BTU?

Therms seem to be the popular unit these days. It would be more sensible in my view to use Kilowatt hours or Megawatt hours.
One therm=29.3 kwh. Accurate value.
One them= 30 kwh as an .approximation when doing fag packet calculations.
One therm of gas burnt in a power station=approximately 10 kwh of electricity, varies according to the efficiency of the power station but 10 kwh is a fair estimate.
One Therm is about 30kWhrs (wiki article ).
Considering we went metric in 1970, and quite a lot of folk writing articles like one that were not even born then, some of the arcane units cast a surprisingly long shadow. The tedious maths this often entails makes you long for a pint half litre (!)
