1W continuous = 1€/year = 1.5kg CO2 or 0.2g uranium.

In fact it's 0.88€ (1.27$), 1.4kg CO2 (0.16kg/kWh) and 0.19g uranium (0.022g/kWh) but the little bit more motivates a little bit more to reduce the continuous flow. These are based on the French numbers, US may have much more CO2 are far less uranium.
