How much electric power does a Google search take?

"A single Google search takes about as much power as turning on a 60-watt light bulb for 17 seconds, and server farms now use at least 1.5% of the world's electricity."

"One minute of streaming YouTube video consumes 0.0002 kWh of energy, which is about the same amount of energy your body uses in eight seconds."
