Would it be right to say that the biggest opportunity for reducing consumption is to avoid shaping, i.e. by adding BQL-like functionality to all classes of device drivers, and/or by deploying congestion control globally that avoids the need for it?

Other ideas: move queue management into hardware, power network equipment with renewables, or just use the Internet less. :)
