The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that by 2026, data centers will consume more than 800 TWh annually, more than double their consumption in 2022.

** The case for digital degrowth: It is increasingly argued that we are approaching the point of ‘peak digital’, with the continued mass production and excessive consumption of digital technologies set to become a key driver of climate crisis, ecological breakdown and ongoing societal instability. In this talk, Neil Selwyn explores how degrowth thinking and alternate forms of ‘radically sustainable computing’ might support ambitions of sustainable, scaled-down and equitable ways of living with digital technologies. Drawing on the latest thinking from across the social sciences, ecological economics, political ecology, environmental justice, and computer sciences, Neil argues that degrowth thinking offers a compelling basis from which to completely rethink our digital futures in these fast-changing times.

  • Three Decades of Climate Mitigation: Why Haven't We Bent the Global Emissions Curve? https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.1146/annurev-environ-012220-011104
    • High emitters (whether countries, organizations, or individuals) are often the least vulnerable, weakening direct incentives for action, while those least responsible for emissions often suffer the worst impacts.
    • Combustion of fossil fuels and large-scale land-use change have underpinned economic development over more than two centuries, creating deep path dependencies (not only economic but also material, social, cultural, and psychological).
    • Dominant economic and political interests are invested in the status quo and work hard against change.
    • Causes are also deeply embedded in wider economic and geopolitical divisions, including the historical backdrop of colonialism, imperialism, and other systemic injustices.

  • Data center power loads threaten corporate net-zero goals https://www.pv-magazine.com/2024/07/27/data-center-power-loads-threaten-corporate-net-zero-goals/ " The world’s reliance on the internet, the shift to cloud computing, and the emergence of AI all fuel demand for more and more data centers. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that by 2026, data centers will consume more than 800 TWh annually, more than double their consumption in 2022. Tristan Rayner takes a look at the role that renewable generation plays in powering a digital world." JULY 27, 2024 TRISTAN RAYNER
