WebP should be replacing JPEG and PNG. I feel like JPEG/PNG is like the GIF of 1999, formats which can be completely replaced with no real drawbacks. The disk space and network savings alone could reduce energy consumption. Safari is the only browser without WebP support, and I don't think it makes sense to keep waiting on them. If Safari users start seeing websites with images that don't load, Apple will support WebP real quick. One thing that would be nice would be a way to tell whether a WebP is lossy (in which case you should only edit/resize the original file, to prevent degradation), or lossless (edit as much as you please).

It's wishful thinking that it would reduce energy consumption! If the format is more efficient people will just load more.

  Jevons Paradox: In economics, the Jevons paradox (/ˈdʒɛvənz/; sometimes Jevons effect) occurs when technological progress or government policy increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use), but the rate of consumption of that resource rises due to increasing demand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox

Apple users can also help by complaining[1] more. Interestingly, there is a bug[2] in Microsoft Edge which wasn't touched for months as well.
