Today, YouTube and Netflix dominate the digital landscape, representing over half of ALL global internet traffic and consuming staggering amounts of electricity along the way. But what happens when AI propels everything into a new era, eclipsing streaming as we know it? Experts from LBNL/DOE predict that energy demands at data centers could double or even triple. In 2023, data center electricity consumption was a hefty 176 TWh, projected to surge to approximately 325-580 TWh by 2028, with global energy use soaring to around 945 TWh by 2030. Achieving these monumental numbers demands an extensive network of renewable energy power plants. Let's champion a sustainable future together! 🌍💡
