But isn't that energy inefficient due to high Watts/hour usage?

  Given that it loads nearly instantly, as opposed to a new web page which needs to send off 1000 requests to pull in 0.5GB of media and ads that I didn't request -- I say it's pretty energy efficient. Just look at energy per useful data transferred (define "useful" in some sane way). That high energy efficiency is why I favor HN over many other websites.

  That was also my first thought. It is quite different from let’s say old school mobile phones which didn’t do much but also weren’t consuming anything
