By late 2025, total AI data center power capacity had reached roughly tens of gigawatts, which puts AI's electricity consumption at a scale comparable to the peak electricity demand of the state of New York
AI数据中心总电力容量已达数十吉瓦，相当于纽约州高峰电力需求。这一数据点突显了AI产业对能源的巨大需求，以及由此带来的能源挑战和环境影响。随着AI计算能力继续增长，能源供应将成为制约AI发展的关键因素之一，可能推动行业向更节能的技术方向发展。
A single refrigerator-size AI rack consumes 120 kilowatts, equivalent to 100 homes. But this hunger collides with another exponential: Solar costs have fallen by a factor of nearly 100 over 50 years; battery prices have dropped 97% over three decades.
令人惊讶的是：AI能源消耗与可再生能源成本的惊人对比。一个AI机架的能耗相当于100个家庭，但同时太阳能成本50年内下降了近100倍，电池价格30年内下降了97%。这种能源与可再生能源发展的矛盾与平衡，是AI可持续发展的重要考量。
A domestic superintelligence project would have a huge energy footprint that we wouldn’t be able to conceal from adversaries

Die International Energy Agency prognostiziert zum ersten Mal, dass der Verbrauch fossiler Energien vor 2030 seinen Höhepunkt überschreiten wird. Die voraussichtliche Abnahme sei aber bei weitem nicht ausreichend, um das 1,5°-Ziel zu erreichen. IEA-Chef Fatih Birol kündigte in der Financial Times die Kernaussagen des nächsten World Energy Outlook-Berichts der IEA an. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/12/beginning-of-the-end-of-fossil-fuel-era-approaching-says-iea
Die Treibhausas-Emissionen durch fossile Energie sind 2022 um 0,8% gestiegen. 82% des globalen Energieverbrauchs stammen weiterhin aus fossilen Quellen, Der weltweite Energieverbauch wuchs 2022 um 1%. Deshalb hat das Wachstum bei den Erneuerbaren nicht dazu geführt, dass die Emissionen sinken. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jun/26/greenhouse-gas-emissions-from-global-energy-industry-still-rising-report?utm_source=cbnewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=2023-06-26&utm_campaign=Daily+Briefing+26+06+2023

For the coming reporting year we are aiming for energy efficiency gains of at least 80 GWh.

Interesting table...but they miss the energy cost of the networking equipment. See [http://www.ncsa.uicu.edu]
