@michelle @zachleat @fershad I don't think this should affect anyone's decision about use on regular web pages. The energy usage in absolute terms is too tiny to matter, even multiplied by millions it's still small.
But from overall energy efficiency perspective you should also consider that larger files will use relatively more energy on all the network equipment that sends them.
Computers and displays also use energy while waiting for a page to load. Faster pages reduce wasted time.
