Calories and BTU are energy.


Sorry about the erroneous post. Mainly, I was replying to the nonsense
about Calories being only in the body.

I've only ever seen calories used for food energy values, not for anything else.

For a real eye opener, look up 'arc flash protection ratings'. The
protective equipment is rated in claories/sq cm.

I know someone with a sign outside her house saying "beware of crack flashes". I think that means something somewhat different though.
