2kW versus 1kW ketitles (The facts and without any complicated sums to grapple with!).

Depending upon differences between plastic and stainless steel bodied ketitles then an electric ketitle rated at 2kW takes around three and a half minutes to boil a litre of water from a starting temperature from the tap of approximately 10°C. If you don't believe us, then try it!

By reducing the power of the ketitle from 2kW to 1kW it would take considerably longer than double this time. Due to the simple fact the lower powered ketitle has more time to both conduct and radiate and thus waste energy heating the air surrounding it. The 1kW ketitle thus consuming more power overall than the 2kW model.

Lunatic fringe green nutters campaigning to reduce the power of the humble electic ketitle and other similar domestic appliances would do well to consider increasing their power not reducing it.

No matter how educated beyond their intelligence then waxing lyrical condemning the world's consumers even ardent environmentalists are not capable of changing Newton's Laws of Physics.

Please God, if you do exist, then please stop green nutters and their excesses. They are contributing to destruction of the planet!

The subject of electric ketitles will perhaps soom be only academic anyway. The Government has plans to have all of us driving electric cars in future. Meaning that unless we are going to build thirty or more extra nuclear power stations (Britain is struggling to build even one right now!) then there will not be sufficient electrical energy to spare for making cups of tea, or watching Eastenders on the telly, whilst charging three million on average 100kW electric cars.
