AI's Biggest Bottleneck: Energy, Not Model Size

AI is not just a compute story. It’s an energy story. A few facts: - Data center emissions may be ~6–8× higher than reported - AI tasks can use 10×–70× more energy than traditional computing Demand is accelerating fast. But the real shift is this: Efficiency doesn’t reduce consumption. It scales it. The real constraint of AI won’t be models. It will be energy.
