The study, carried out by Jonathan Koomey, a consulting professor in the civil and environmental engineering department at Stanford University, found that electricity used by data centers worldwide increased by about 56 percent from 2005 to 2010.
Data center electricity use doubled from 2000 to 2005 and a study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency predicted power consumption would double again from 2005 to 2010.
