    Datacenter environmental impact is a short-term problem.

    In ten years, we’ll have significant renewable energy disposable.

        Solar panels are the natural photosynthetic plants turned into technology.

        Let’s see how things unfold.

          Ah yes the natural photosynthic process of mining silica, aluminum and rare earth metals from deep in the earth’s crust. Yes solar panels are more efficient than photosynthesis but they still require substantial systems built around them to function - plants not as much.

          Still doesn’t mean we can’t have solar panels but we really shouldn’t be ravaging the earth more just to satisfy our excessive energy usage. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle in that order.
