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?
I don’t think the problem comes from the clients devices.
I really don’t see how broadcasting could consume the same amount of energy as downloading. When you broadcast something it doesn’t matter how many clients are watching the content, but for streaming or downloading the more clients the more energy you’ll need to support the load
