I agree that we need an actual, real, global solution. But where will it come from? It's not like some benevolent aliens will write up a grand plan and hand it down to us. No. The final solution will consist of a myriad of sub solutions and measures. And improving data center efficiency will be a (albite a small one) part of it. So it's nice to have it (and other parts) at hand ready. You know, just in case the next congress gets serious about tackling the climate crisis.
- LatteLazy 6y agoThe issue I have is that we have had sub-solutions for decades. We've always lacked the overall strategy and will. More subsolutions is not useful because it won't create an overall strategy. Were in "1000 spoons when all you need is a knife" and we're rapidly searching for more spoons and celebrating spoon production. They're actually worse than useless. People mistake more options for action. And people spend more time arguing over which sub solutions to implimented while implimenting nothing.
- perfunctory 6y agoYou do have a point. We absolutely lack any meaningful action, unfortunately.
