    No matter which way you correctly read the headline, it’s false.

    You can either read it as Google and microsoft individually consumed more electricity than these 100 countries did (false, it’s Google and microsoft combined)

    OR Google and Microsoft combined consimed more than these 100 countries did total.

    Did an intern write this or something?
