I spent some time recently reading through a big spreadsheet of questions submitted by Vox's audience members.

00:06

And one of them caught my eye.

00:09

It was from Kathy, a retired school teacher in New York City.

00:13

What is the question that you wanted us to answer?

00:15

So the question is, can green energy even begin to handle the increased demands that AI and crypto and cloud storage are going to put on our energy system?

00:24

It's a good question.

00:25

I've done some reporting on AI, but I've never thought much of the climate impact of all the AI products we're increasingly using.

00:33

And all of our digital belongings, like photos and documents and emails, getting stockpiled in servers around the world.

00:40

They need a lot of electricity and then electricity has to come from somewhere.

00:43

This is all happening while the climate crisis demands we use less energy, not invent new ways to use more of it.

00:50

I think our climate goals already feel pretty impossible to me.

00:54

But now it's almost like we haven't changed the goalposts.

00:59

We've changed the entire game.

01:00

So let's get to the bottom of this.

01:07

Within Kathy's big question is a more basic one about how much electricity our digital lives require.

01:14

At first, I was thrown off that Kathy mentioned things like cloud storage and AI and cryptocurrency in one category.

01:20

But then I realized that their electricity demands happen at the same place, data centers.

01:25

Ultimately, you're talking about machines loaded up in large facilities who generate computations.

01:32

And they need power, a lot of it.

01:34

They need water.
