Yes the internet does use a lot of energy. I remember reading some stat about how much energy is required for a simple thing like a Google search. It was quite surprising. Unfortunately I don’t think too many people will be rushing to buy energy credits.
Wonderful post! We think about all the obvious ways to save energy but sometimes it’s the not-so-obvious things that can make a huge difference. Thanks for opening our eyes to one of them!
That’s great Patrick, thanks!

Amazing i was really unknown about such web hosing companies which are based on green renewable energy.
Hey,
Id never thought of it in this way! I guess when you add to the fact that BILLIONS of people are surfing the net, the amount of energy being used is massive. maybe if people did more online shopping (for groceries etc) they could save on a car gas bill and help stay green that way as well…
Whoa, that’s crazy how much power is required to run big companies such as Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft.
