A Negawatt

A negawatt is a megawatt saved,
A negawatt is the path to be paved,
Energy efficiency is what we strive to be,
For negawatt savings are real.

A negawatt is power not used,
And none of us should be excused,
From keeping on the switches, wasting power in glitches,
Running of electrons is abused.

Leaving lights on when they are not needed,
Disconnects on microwavs not heeded,
We keep in the power plug and it turns into a slug,
By draining power which from the grid is feeded.

Negawatts are megawatts to save,
The negawatt should be the path to crave,
Energy efficiency is what we strive to be,
Yes, negawatt savings are real.

How many "negawatts" do you think have come from regenerative brakes on all the hybrid cars in the world combined?
