A fine example of the latest data-free clickbaity narrative:
The headline: âElectricity grids creak as AI demands soarâ
Halfway down the article: âThere is little doubt that the energy demands of data centres will rise in the coming years, but there is huge uncertainty over how muchâ
The reality: AFAIK, no grids are demonstrating stress due to data center demand. And IT globally (including all computers and electronics) still consumes less than 5% of grid power.
Donât believe the hype.
