I wrote an article for O’Reilly Media’s DigitalMedia Mac Center titled…
How Much Electricity Does a Mac Use?

How much power does your PC consume? 
It is a 20 minute long video. So, get comfortable for a sit-back experience (vs. lean forward).

PC World’s article…
How to Run a Green Office
…provides a few pointers to a couple of energy calculators and recycling services. Based on the article’s title, I was really hoping for a more meaty article. But, hey, any little info tidbit is helpful, I guess.
