I thoght it was interesting that "The Lawrence Berkeley National Labratory estimates that 3 per cent of U.S. electricity is consumed by the computers, servers and routers that form the foundation of the Internet. Of this, they figure about .12 per cent (500 megawatts, roughly) is used to power data centers."I am working with a group of Harvard/MIT students on a residential energy efficiency project. The PowerDown initiative aims to increase energy efficiency in the residential area by finding new and innovative ideas to motivate energy savings. This is fascinating stuff.
