You aren't going to find any one category of thing that uses a "significant" fraction of total electrical energy or fossil fuel. Dismissing efforts because of that won't lead to meaningful betterment.
- dangerface 6y agoThe 2% use for IT is insignificant in contrast to the 28% used for transport which is the most significant.
