It is said streaming, especially video, takes plenty electricity, can be bad for the environment. So I wonder, how does watching Kim Possible on Mickey Channel compare to watching it on Mickey Plus? Similarly, and maybe even better of a comparison, how does listening to something like 623.7 FWGR Radio on FM compare to listening to the station's online stream?

Yeah phones use hardly any power. For example my phone uses about 7.3 kwh per year if charged every night, which I don't actually need to charge it fully every night or a full recharge because usually it's at 60% battery at the end of the day.

So it is about 13.88 cents per kwh where I live, or roughly, $1 per year to charge my phone if I needed a full charge every night.

    I have had accubattery for my phone's duration and Sony have the feature that you can force stop charging at 80%. In the past 3.5 years with the phone, I have charged 1 814 046 mAh in that time. Assuming avg 3.8V (not hitting too much or CV with 80%) and my local price of 0.32€/kWh, that is only 2.14€ over 3.5 years.

    Phones are absolutely crazy efficient.
