Third Para: Allocating pro-rata from data centers The slice right now, according to Mills, is about 10 percent, or 1,500 terawatt hours of power. (For context, one terawatt hours is one trillion watt hours, and one watt terawatt hour can power about 90,000 homes.) Much of that energy is going to server farms, those giant clusters of computer servers that power "the cloud," as well as wireless networks. In order to use an iPhone, you are consuming power on the other side (send side) of wireless and data networks. While this is true at a Macro level, it is sort of a link-baity title. Because, the remedy is arguably more with the data centers, and base stations etc. The phone is just a gateway device.
