• Question: Do you belive that it is fair that Google uses around 0.013% of the world’s energy or would you rather use this elsewhere?

      Easy access to information is a wonderful thing. It means you and I can easily find the answer to all sorts of questions.

      Google’s services are used by people all over the world for research in schools, universities, businesses etc. Yes, there are things that people use google for which are perhaps not a good use of energy, but also, without google, designing new things and for example, researching new ways of making electricity, would be so much harder!

      So yes, I think it is fair.
