Good news for planet Earth, at least as far as the data shows for the United States. According to the US Energy Information Administration, in the five years from 2019 to 2024, in March and April specifically, electricity production using wind power has almost doubled, significantly outdoing…
Natural gas is mostly methane, and it has plenty of chances to exert an extremely powerful greenhouse effect (more than 80 times stronger than CO2 over a 20-year timespan) on the atmosphere before it gets burned. GPUs use about four times as much power and produce more heat than conventional CPUs (central processing units, your computer's brain), meaning the data centers that house them require better cooling systems as well. Cryptocurrencies also use GPUs in huge data centers for calculating complex math equations to validate transactions, consuming copious amounts of electricity.
