Gigawatts per second????
[EDIT]: I see this needs elaboration ... watts are already "per second". Watts per second implies some sort of acceleration of energy consumption. Just wondering if I'm missing the point.

So if one to speak about waste, it should be even less than that. For comparison, I guesstimate ~6% is used for heating homes.
