Yea, but how much energy did you waste for 100T digits of crap, Google???
This was done thru a massive energy crisis, mind you.
The energy crisis mainly affects oil and coal prices in the US so I don't believe Google's renewable-powered computations should have any effect.
If they'd run it in Germany where people are being asked to conserve electricity, things might be different.

So we are using 256 cores and 1.5 TB of RAM, so probably about 7.5 kW or so. Over 5 months, the compute would have used 27 MWh, so about the energy content of ~750 gallons of gas.
The storage will obviously use more energy (I don't know if they are using spinning disks or SSDs), but I think ~50-100 MWh for the entire computation is a reasonable estimate.
