The New York Times has an interesting story:
The computer engine rooms that power the digital economy have become surprisingly energy efficient.
A new study of data centers globally found that while their computing output jumped sixfold from 2010 to 2018, their energy consumption rose only 6 percent. The scientists' findings suggest concerns that the rise of mammoth data centers would generate a surge in electricity demand and pollution have been greatly overstated.
The major force behind the improving efficiency is the shift to cloud computing. In the cloud model, businesses and individuals consume computing over the internet as services, from raw calculation and data storage to search and social networks.
There may yet be hope for data centers.

I see you want him silent. Why is that? You don't want to appear even stupider than you are Mr. potato head? Yes. Keep talking. Please. I want to get your goat even more too. I see you went wild down moderating him when he was up moderated initially. It is too obvious you are butt hurt and retaliating in an obvious display of it. The obvious here is that you are indeed a "relaxed brain" welfare retard who wasn't able to come up with points he did here regarding our subject and yes, your kind (losers on welfare, leeches that drag us all down to your level, living death). Hohohohoho on the relaxed brain description of you. Makes me laugh at you. You like? I do.
