Google runs 900,000 servers, uses 0.01% of world's electricity

Google runs 900,000 servers that possibly consume u0.01 percent of worldwide electricity, compared to data centers as a whole, which account for up to 1.5 percent of worldwide electricity use, and as much as 2.2 percent of U.S. electricity.

To be sure, those figures represent a "best guess" made by Stanford professor Jonathan Koomey.
