Actually, we looked it up last night after CoasterMatt's post, and apparently the "j" pronunciation of "gigawatts" is an alternate in the dictionary.

GD theorizes that it really was "gigawatts" but Christopher Lloyd pronounced it "jigowatts", and then they went back and rewrote the script to match it.
