Data centers, the things that physically store and share applications and data, require an enormous amount of energy to run. These giant storage units, responsible for 1-1.5% of global electricity consumption, have traditionally relied on renewable sources like solar and wind but it seems as though renewable energy just won’t be able to keep up with the demand required moving forward.
I concede that it is exponential and not logarithmic, but the original statement of yours “loses its harm exponentially” is what got us going down this tangent. I think that statement is misleading, because the truth is that the waste loses its harm exponentially slower as time goes on.
I don’t think you understand the concept of exponential, or radioactivity for that matter tbh. The statement is completely truthful.
Lol OK buddy, I went to school for this and worked in a power plant.
