This year’s Christmas could be Britain’s greenest yet, energy operator says
Britain’s energy system operator has predicted that this year’s Christmas Day could be the greenest yet.
If the weather remains mild and windy for the rest of December, the National Energy System Operator (Neso) has said it could record the lowest carbon intensity – the measure of how much carbon dioxide is released to produce electricity – recorded on the network for 25 December.
Artificial intelligence’s (AI) carbon footprint in 2025 could match New York City’s or a small European country, and use as much water as the global annual bottled water industry this year, according to a new study.
The report estimates that AI systems running in data centres could be responsible for between 32.6 million and 79.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2025.

What has 'fairer' got to do with 'greener'?
Other than trying to sell something that will see a poorer, greyer future.
DJ - yes, a poorer, greyer future for our grandkids is what bothers me.
Cheer up, blogger. If our grandchildren have any sense they won't choose to live in the United Islamic Republic.
dearieme - our son is already thinking of advising his son and daughter, our grandchildren, to think about moving abroad when they are old enough to consider it.
