Funny thing: only yesterday while listening to the fan in my laptop spin up on the ad-loaded site electrek.com (ironic!) I wondered to myself, "what's the kWh hit of all this advertising frenzy, at scale?"
Well, one day later up pops an answer.
Sadly because of Yet Another Business Plan this article is #NotOpenAccess but some hints are in the abstract, for those who can take the work on faith alone.
It's a lot of juice.

We have reached a good understanding, it seems.Yes income tax and "profits" tax are replaceable by a 15% land tax based on rental value. Income tax only came around circa 1915 after the "#FederalReserve" (read: seedy private interest cartel) was created.
10% GST on things that are not fresh #food and necessities (see #Australia's #GST) is also good. Buying #processedFoods and #manufactured goods has #externalCosts best accounted for separately.
