The effects are far from negligible compared to other industries. A very small percentage of people world wide use it and even still, the amount of data centers and sizes and the rise in power costs are insane.

It's actually extremely intense compared to other industries.

    At this point I feel like you're a bot. I'm no expert in the subject but there's plenty of evidence showing the insane amount of resources or request which becomes monumental as the requests become more in depth.

    The sky rocketing energy prices may not be felt everywhere just yet but they are felt near data centers that are sprouting up every where. And we're just getting started.
