energy consumption

“It depends upon how other sectors grow, but we know that cooling will at least triple in energy consumption between now and twenty-fifty.”

“If you look at the United States as an example, we use about a hundred quads of energy, a hundred quadrillion BTU of energy. BTU is a British thermal unit of energy. About 13% of that energy is for water and steam.”

“The answer to AI data consumption growth or energy consumption growth is probably AI, finding other applications for it, and we see these from some of the providers.”

“The history of compute is one in which we expand compute dramatically while keeping overall energy consumption basically flat. Like, that's been true for a couple decades.”

“It feels to me like the incentive for the foreseeable future as it pertains to designing everything that goes into the data center is minimize energy consumption.”
