Wikipedia estimates between 65g and 245g for each kWh • Between 5 pm and 8 am the following morning, each computer would use 1.8 kWh, or generate between 117 and 441 grams of CO2 • Turning off 1,000 computers would save 1,800 kWh per day • In Alberta, the average household uses 602 kWh per month • http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/11-526-s/2010001/t004-eng.htm • http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/commercial/technical-info/tools/8397
