Internet uses more power?

A Salon article debunking the "Internet uses more power" myth, that power consumption through the '90s grew at a lower rate than previous decades, well below the economy, and I'm not completely sure 'cause they don't present enough numbers, but pretty close to population growth. Doesn't mean we're not getting more efficient in other areas to make up for the increased computer use, but it's another example of where the irrational extremist environmentalists are killing credibility for the ones with real points.

Um, those weren't "extremist environmentalists" but a couple of paid flacks for the
generators responsible for that hokum.

Some of them are, but the ones I see irresponsibly repeating and publicizing that myth...
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
