Arrg! I didnt mean to delete what I wrote I was just trying to update it.

You confused energy use with pollution.

And what I wrote before was:

I basically said that I was serious, people if they cared would stop using computers. But I am not, you are not, so data centers are going to grow no matter what we do, and computing use is going to increase energy consumption. We need to (even says in the article you posted in the links) improve efficiency, get better hardware, use lower cost training models, use energy recovery and not use lossy evaporator cooling.
