If you play video games 3 hours per day every day from the moment you are born to the moment you die and every joule of it comes from fossil fuels, you *still* produce fewer emissions than a single private jet flying one time from New York to London. > 0.5 kW x 3 hours/day x 365.24 days/year x 80 years = 44 MWh in a lifetime of gaming 3 hours per day. > 300 gallons/hour x 7 hours x 47.4 kWh/gallon = 100 MWh from a single flight. Also, a person running on a powered treadmill produces more emissions than a person playing video games on a computer: > 0.7 kW treadmill + 0.5 kW person engaging in exercise = 1.2 kW power consumption on a treadmill. > 0.5 kW gaming PC + 0.2 kW person sitting = 0.7 kW power consumption.
