On top of that, even the server setup they talked about wouldn't actually cost that much energy to run, because that's not all that will be running on it. That physical host will likely have dozens or even hundreds of servers running on it, and the small menu serving webserver will account for hardly any of the power draw from the hosts.

Oh, and I almost forgot: the company is going to have a website anyway, what company today serving the public doesn't? Adding a page or two isn't going to raise the power consumption in any measurable way if at all.
