Well, given that kWs or Btus or litres or degrees or minutes and just about every other form of measurement not associated with a natural event (such as the rotation of the earth or circling of the Sun) are arbitrary concepts invented by some person or persons for convenience at some time in the past, I don't see why it isn't just as valid for the majority of the population to adopt dollars as a unit of measurement for energy?

It may not be as accurate and therefore as useful for scientific purposes, but no less functional.

Just a thought! :)
