I just read a news story saying in 2030, AI will use 25% of the US power consumption.
AI may eventually consume a quarter of America's power by 2030, warns Arm CEO
An IEA Electricity 2024 report warns that ChatGPT requests costs nearly 10 times more than a Google search in powerwww.tomshardware.com
Aside from AI, in the US, Cryptocurrency activity is estimated to emit from 25 to 50 million tons of CO2 each year, on par with the annual emissions from diesel fuel used by US railroads. As of August 2022, published estimates of the total global electricity usage for crypto-assets are between 120 and 240 billion kilowatt-hours per year, a range that exceeds the total annual electricity usage of many individual countries, such as Argentina or Australia!
AI plus Cryptocurrency, plus power consumption plus everything else = we're fuqqed.
