Calculating a website’s footprint involves tracing the entire path. It's not only about the #datacenter, it encloses the energy needed to transmit #data globally & the power used by your device. User devices contribute the most at 54%, surpassing data centers at 22% and network infrastructure at 24%

"We have to ask, what would happen in an extreme case, if #BigTech just shut down their services? Finding out #information would be impossible because we wouldn’t have a #searchengine anymore."

"I think nobody in Europe would accept that there is only one or two #newspapers where you get your daily information from. But this is the situation we have when it comes to #searchengines."

Every visit to the @netflix.com homepage generates 0.48g of CO2. This makes the site “dirtier” than 72% of all #websites globally. By comparison, the @greenpeace.de website produces just 0.13g of #CO2 per visit, performing better than 69% of websites worldwide.
Grid-Aware Websites Respond to the Power Grid
Lean websites and green servers reduce CO2 emissions of the internet. Grid-aware websites go one step further: they adapt to the power grid.

“If people try out new search engines, they might discover parts of the web that could be especially interesting to them. That’s why I don’t recommend just one. Go out and find other search engines and invest skills in finding new, fresh information.” - Michael Granitzer

He says "space-based AI is obviously the only way to scale" Um, another way would be to develop AI datacentre tech that's not a resource hog.Sustainable solutions are possible. Others are working on it. tinyurl.com/3d42x4sz Do better here on earth. #datacentres #sustainableai #ai

We need to bridge the gap between when #energy is generated and when it is consumed. We need a solution that makes our #energygrids more resilient and allows us to store summer’s sun for winter’s chill. Without massive-scale storage, the green transition stalls 👇

A document of just under 30 pages long has the potential to save thousands of #customers from having to buy new speakers. This reduces the need for new #resources, cuts #emissions in the supply chain and may save more #greenhousegases than reforestation projects or the use of recycled materials 🙌
