In physics, Energy per unit of time is Power.
Energy is in the same units as Work, Potential, Heat, Free Energy,

We've talked about the "power" of a post regarding the effects it has on other posts.

Internal energy is similar to Forum total value / DAO total reputation

Total available reputation is similar to thermodynamic free energy
