The World Just Got Back 13 Terawatt Hours of Spam-Wasted Electricity!

Spam is not only a big waste of your time, but it is a much bigger waste of a simply staggering amount of global electricity supplies. Transmitting, processing and filtering spam has been estimated by McAfee at taking an astonishing 33 billion kilowatt hours – that’s 33 terawatt hours (TWh) – of the global energy supply, every year!
Enough power, according to McAfee, in their “The Carbon Footprint of Spam” study, to “power 2.4 million homes” – in the first world.
In the third world – where Bill Gates does humanitarian work - that would go much further, and likely be enough to at least power some lighting for the last 2 billion people in the world that currently do not even have any electricity all.
Or the world could shutter quite a few dirty coal plants.
Cutting 33 terawatt hours of wasted energy worldwide by 39% is very, very, very huge. That’s been one hefty carbon footprint.

There you go then. For the greenies there's something in it as well.
'cause Greenies don't get spam. So everyone wins!
