Thanks! That is strangely fascinating. So I am guessing your average laptop runs at about 20 watts so 20 x 10000 x 5/60 = 16.67kwh So depending on where you live you might pay 0.3$/kwh so 70 cents for about 5 dollars worth of electricity. So only makes sense if you can keep a lot of people on your page for a very long time...
