[Greenbuilding] energy and power terms

[Nick Pyner]

I don't think that's a good analogy at all, and probably just adds to the
confusion. If you must use automotive terms, I submit it might be better to
use the fuel gauge than the speedo. Or how about the engine? A watt is
exactly like a horsepower, just 3/4 the size, and most of the world uses
just that.

  Perhaps the best single way to think of it (per that article): "Watts are
like miles-per-hour."
