That and the fact that tech companies are building ever-larger data centers that require gigawatts of power to operate as they build crappy AI systems. Right now in the US something like 5% of all power usage is going to data centers, and it’s growing fast. Microsoft is restarting the infamous plant on Three Mile Island to send 800 megawatts to its data centers. That’s more than the power output of Hoover Dam.
So in that instance, at least, technology is definitely hurting the progress of switching to green energy because they’re requiring much more energy to be generated than what we’d otherwise need.

During a series of tests, Rober compares how a Tesla and a test vehicle equipped with LIDAR sensors, courtesy of the company Luminar, react to a child mannequin in the middle of the road.
That’s stupid. He should have tested it against a stock BMW or something. Now it looks like only experimental cars with visible sensors are able to do this, rather than any new car with advanced driver assistance technology from serious manufacturers.
