Gadgetose took a look at what it costs to run the entire internet:

• It takes 1.5% of the world’s electricity supply to keep the internet running.
• This is equivalent to the annual output of 30 nuclear power plants.
• This would mean an energy bill of $8.5 billion – equivalent to Google’s profits in 2011.
