Though hath sinned against the 2nd law of thermodynamics!

1,000 gallons of heating oil have ~41 MWh of chemical potential energy (if using the HHV). Those 41 MWh are not directly comparable to 7MWh of electricity. While the units (MWh) are the same, they are measuring two completely different things.

They have as much in common as an American dollar and a Jamaican dollar; yes they're both "dollars", but they refer to different things.

Repent and sin no more.
