Energy Consumption,Climate Change,Decarbonization

AI's rapid growth poses a significant threat to the energy industry, economy, and climate, as its insatiable power consumption challenges decarbonization goals and could lead to energy shortages.

The growth of Artificial Intelligence has come on so strong and so fast that it threatens to destabilize the energy industry, the economy, and the climate. Last week, Google stated that its carbon emissions have skyrocketed by a whopping 48 percent over the last five years. “AI-powered services involve considerably more computer power - and so electricity - than standard online activity, prompting a series of warnings about the technology's environmental impact,” the BBC reported Thursday.

reports that heavy hitters like Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta, are all begging for increased energy as they continue to add data centers to the grid, often at a gigawatt of electricity a pop.
