I asked the AI your question, and it said: It should be written GWh (energy), not GW (power).
That was my mistake writing the text. It is ~10 GWh/year. But the calculations are correct.
1. Electricity consumption:
Modern internet transfer energy estimates: 0.02–0.08 kWh per GB
Reasonable global average: 0.05 kWh/GB
Energy: 182,500,000 × 0.05 ≈ 9,125,000 kWh/year ≈ 9.1 GWh/year
2. CO2:
Typical internet electricity intensity: ~0.3 to 0.5 kg CO₂ per kWh
We use a reasonable mid range: 0.4 kg CO₂ / kWh
Now: 9.1 GWh = 9,100,000 kWh
CO₂: 9,100,000 × 0.4 = 3,640,000 kg CO₂ = 3,640 tons CO₂/year
Using: $0.10–0.20 per kWh
Estimate: 9,125,000 × $0.10 ≈ $912,500/year
If it is wrong. please tell me.
