if the web drains so much power it has to be controlled, i'll eat your hat. this is just a another sneaky way of attempting to censor the web and limit the debate on anything the liberaLs don't want anyone to know about or resist their thought control process, plain and simple.
IF this were actually true, what do you think will happen when you have ALL the electric cars SUCKING up the current in al gore's perfect society???? come on "scientists" get real.-

Btw, how much of a carbon footprint does the main stream media have? They use a lot of electricity and the print media think about all those trees and the ink. I'm sure the ink must have a huge carbon footprint after all it's nearly all carbon. -

lame reason but since when does that matter
