As Use of A.I. Soars, So Does the Energy and Water It Requires
Generative artificial intelligence uses massive amounts of energy for computation and data storage and millions of gallons of water to cool the equipment at data centers. Now, legislators and regulators — in the U.S. and the EU — are starting to demand accountability.
Machine Learning Model Doubles Accuracy of Global Landslide ‘Nowcasts’ - NASA
Every year, landslides – the movement of rock, soil, and debris down a slope – cause thousands of deaths, billions of dollars in damages, and disruptions to
US startup ditches towers for unique pyramid-mounted wind turbines
An innovative floating offshore wind turbine prototype was launched in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Instead of a single anchor tower, the approach uses a pyramid base that can also passively orient itself in the direction of the blowing wind.
This project cuts emissions by putting data centers inside wind turbines | CNN
WindCORES operates data centers inside wind turbines located in a wind park in western Germany, which the company says makes the centers almost carbon neutral.
Scientists are scouring garbage sites around the world for bacteria, fungi and even insects that harbor enzymes that could be harnessed for breaking down various polymers. It’s early days, but if the efforts can be efficiently scaled-up, such biological recycling could put a dent in the plastic waste problem.
The Carbon Emissions of Writing and Illustrating Are Lower for AI than for Humans
As AI systems proliferate, their greenhouse gas emissions are an increasingly important concern for human societies. In this article, we present a comparative a
Energy Startup Says It Has Achieved Geothermal Tech Breakthrough
An enhanced geothermal system expands the range of sites able to be tapped for geothermal energy, and Fervo’s demo is the first time a company has shown it can be done on this kind of commercial scale.
