Ecocharger + 1,438 DL 2 hours ago (edited) A powerful boost for fossil fuel demand is the AI industry, which is growing by leaps and bounds. This provides a powerful new boost for oil and for fossil fuels. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Researchers-Discover-Algorithm-to-Slash-AI-Energy-Consumption-by-95.html "The increasing energy demands of AI pose a significant challenge to sustainability and decarbonization goals." "AI is expected to represent 3.5 percent of the global electricity consumption by 2030. Together with electric vehicles, AI is on track to add 290 terawatt hours of electricity demand to the United States energy grid over the same period to reach the same level of energy consumption as the entire country of Turkey, the world’s 18th largest economy, according to projections by Rystad Energy. “When you look at the numbers, it is staggering,” Jason Shaw, chairman of the Georgia Public Service Commission, a U.S. electricity regulator, told the Washington Post earlier this year. “It makes you scratch your head and wonder how we ended up in this situation. How were the projections that far off? This has created a challenge like we have never seen before.”" Edited 2 hours ago by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thankfully, it seems that researchers are rising to this challenge, and the way that we run large language models could soon be far more energy-efficient without compromising performance. So what is the net??? do you think now that new Coal fired plants will be built in the US?????? ha ha ha .......... did ya Catch the Supreme Court decision the other day????????? enjoy the read...Guess the Supreme Court is now entertaining how Carbon Emissions is to be factored into how we generate electricity The New York Times Supreme Court Allows E.P.A. to Limit Power Plant Emissions The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed the Environmental Protection Agency to move ahead with its plans to limit carbon emissions by power... . 10 hours ago Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
