Found in an article online talking about the usage of internet.
"As internet use grows, the power used to run computer servers is concerning US and European1 policymakers. A recent survey estimates that electricity consumption by data centers, which house servers, doubled between 2000 and 2005. They accounted for 1 per cent of global electricity usage in 2005. Western European consumption accounted for a quarter of this figure and was growing slightly faster than the global average."
