100k KG.. I guess no one uses Megagrams? Or that's also 100 metric tonnes...

Putting it at 100 tonnes makes it sound a lot less. That's the max weight of 4 shipping containers. Or the fuel capacity of one Boeing 787.

Still I'm glad someone is doing something, perhaps this will spur more parties to help.

Mega grams...

Mega seconds ....

Kilowatt-hours... (When the closest SI unit of energy is the megajoule)

Km/hour... (When the closest SI unit of velocity is m/s)

All failures of the SI system.
