Eco-friendly docs

Are these numbers plausible?

CO₂ emissions in the UK are something like 100g - 200g per kWh, so 1g CO₂ is roughly 1 kW for 20 seconds.

I don’t believe a webpage can use anything like 0.73 g CO₂ — however Mintlify is some kind of “AI” platform so maybe they are in fact running 10 top-tier GPUs for more than a second to serve a docs page 🤪

Even the best 0.01 g CO₂ level is 1 kW for 200ms, which lets say is a reasonable length of time to load the page, but that power consumption is surely 10x to 100x too large.
