If I use estimates from other websites (and probably introduce cascades of errors with my questionable logic), then I get a more conservative estimate:
```
Total Pages: 2,493,796,753
Total Data Transferred: 6,716,691 GB
Total Energy Consumed: 386,210 kWh
Total CO₂ Emissions: 185,767 kg
```

This is almost certainly (laughably) wrong!
If I use wayback machines num pages as proxy for what $GOOG or $MSFT would need to index, then I get

Total Energy Consumed: 146,505,283 kWh

After spending a few mins on this, it definitely seems there is a lack of available data on this topic.
We can find estimates for the user's searches, e.g. I can easily find ~0.2 grams of CO₂ emissions. But this is not indexing/crawling!
