The scale on the left is orders of magnitude
1.00E+3 is 1000, 1.00E+4 is 10000, do you have a different interpretation?
The benchmark line on the graph shows that by 2040 we'll be using 1.00E22 electricity versus 1.00E21 world usage. So that means we'll be using 10 times more electricity on computing than everything else. And the lines seem to cross at about 2037. Do you think we can increase electricity production 10 fold in 3 years?
- jayalpha 8y agoWow, what a smart fuck you are. Make this "we'll be using" a "would be using" and try to thing about the other graphs.
- benj111 8y agoWhat other graphs? I'm referring to the one graph in the register article you linked to. Your wikipedia link doesn't seem to contain any graphs either. Do you think I'm misinterpreting that graph?
