I don’t see any other solution to the “exponentially growing power consumption” problem.
In the U.S., at least, power generation has been roughly flat for the last 20 years, not growing exponentially:
That's excluding our hard on for AI the last few years. Would love to see this updated.
Power usage levels in the US, though, are insane compared to mother countries.
electricity is only a tiny fraction of energy use.
I'm surprised by how much natural gas makes up the mix.
