> A related fact is that sometimes “advanced technology” really just means using more energy. I don't think this is what generally happens. Chips right now do this because Dennard Scaling / Moores Law are coming to an end, so they have to increase performance in different ways to win some dumb benchmarks. Nearly everywhere else its the opposite. Cars, fridges, heating, houses, lighting - they all use less energy than they used to.
