Best time to access that website is when it's daytime in Spain, BTW. Though this is probably not a huge issue this close to midsummer.

A second reason for growing Internet energy consumption is that we spend more and more time on-line. Before the arrival of portable computing devices and wireless network access, we were only connected to the network when we had access to a desktop computer in the office, at home, or in the library.

While I agree with the point, i would like to remind everyone about the insane amount of news papers and print magazines that where produced, printed, shipped, read once and then discarded, especially up to the early 2000s before paper sales started to tank. I think it's muchore effective and cheaper to transfer this content via the Internet instead.

But why is this thing wasting so much electricity on my side with black text on bright white background?
