The story of human progress can be simplified into the story of increasing energy utilization. We harness energy to create order, both in terms of biology and society. Energy surpluses allow for every form of wealth creation, which in turn produce new technologies to effectively harness yet more energy.
Modern digital technology transforms ever greater quantities of electricity into advanced value-creating processes. The most recent surge in demand for compute has come from technologies like bitcoin mining and high performance compute, raising questions about their impact on energy systems and interplay with each other.
