In 2007 the EPA predicted data center energy usage would double: it didn't, thanks to efficiency gains from better servers and the shift from in-house to cloud hosting.
That latter shift can also be seen as a shift to greater centralization, which isn't necessarily a good thing. I hope centralization, a concentration of hosting onto big servers at a few providers, isn't necessary to keep energy consumption at a reasonable level.
