Minor point regarding &quot;Facebook&#x27;s infrastructure team once referred to this as the &quot;negawatt&quot;&quot;.<p>The term &#x27;negawatt&#x27; comes from Amory Lovins. See <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Negawatt_power" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Negawatt_power</a> .
