Hi,

So the Tibetan lamasery had it right,
the lights go out. There is a never ending
hunger for crunch? Even requiring USA

to go into domestic chip production:

America’s Most Advanced Chip Factory Yet

But chip production etc.. (embodied energy) is
only a fraction of the energy consumption:

 > Operational energy (running the data center

 > manufacturing energy = 0.75 TWh
 > So the energy to produce the hardware is
 > roughly 0.0085 (or 0.85%) of the annual
 > operational energy.

What are the projections? By 2030, global
power demand for data centers is projected to
reach approximately 220 GW, underscoring the

urgency and strategic importance of securing
power and hardware capacity:
