The KJ Show #112: The Energy Impacts of the Internet

Every week, I host ‘The KJ Show,’ which offers a mix of breaking news and practical advice on how the energy industry affects the consumer. During this fast-paced show, I combine weekly energy updates with conversations with leaders in the energy efficiency community.

After each show, I’ll share it here with the Energy Central Community in case you were unable to join me live.

The KJ Show #112 – The Energy Impacts of the Internet

The Internet is a hidden energy hog. On this show, our host, Dr. Katherine Johnson, will explain how the effects of Internet users’ digital consumption result in the emission of 229 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year. Moreover, estimates project that internet use will account for 1.7 billion tons of greenhouse gases per year.

But that is just part of the story. While data centers appeal to some jurisdictions, others are pushing back due to their high land requirements and intense energy usage.
