"Good that Canada is leading the field with renewable power. Personally, my site http://www.lookrichforless.com is hosted at a webhost that says they get all their electricity from wind energy. Not sure if that is true or not but the extra cost of electricity is quite small. Another thing to consider is that a desktop CPU today uses 80 watt of power. Compare that with the 2-3 watt that an atom CPU uses. Yes, an atom cpu has 4 less power thna a desktop cpu but that is still only 8 watt instead of 80 watt - 10 times less. And for those saved 70 watt you save an additional 2 time amount in aircondition =210 watt saved per computer. if you then have 30.000 computers in one datacenter x 210 watt - then that is quite a lot to save."
