Why isn't the mass media talking about this?

AI technologies consume significant amounts of energy, with estimates suggesting that AI-related activities could consume as much electricity as a small country like Ireland.

The growth of AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), has led to concerns about the energy demands of data centers, which already account for 1-1.5% of global electricity use.

If current trends continue, AI energy consumption could increase dramatically, potentially leading to a 10-fold increase in data center energy consumption.
