Check out the upcoming ATX power consumption and compare it to what we're using currently... What you said was true for a very long time, but Moore's law has slowed down a lot over the last 5yrs and power consumption has increased significantly, and is about to become unreasonable in my opinion. Maximum power draw of 2.4 kw for about to 10% of the uptime is ... sadly going to be reality soon.

> This connection is a 100mbit consumer fiber connection with a static IP-adress. Yikes! And me here in Palo Alto, in the middle of the silicon Valley, cannot get any fiber because of AT&T.

It's hard to get even 100Mbit in Paulo Alto? Must be hard for everyone working remotely these days....

I feel like it's a very useful metaphor for the work ahead in dealing with energy production, consumption, storage, efficiency, etc. Layer 1: We must think of clever solutions to reduce our energy footprint where possible and shifting typical energy uses around is one way to do so Layer 2: But we must also be conscious and aware of economies of scale, and shifting the burden of energy usage from one central server to…

Significantly, shifting the image calculations from the server to the client means the work is duplicated for every client. While it saves energy for the server, it increases the overall energy consumption required to deliver the content.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

a lot of the web would probably be better off if it were

I think so, WordPress that isnt cached to a frozen state on the backend is kind of silly in my eyes, the only exception would be comments, but you could hack around that by using Disqus or something, voila.
