A single transaction in the metaverse consumes up to 200 times more energy than a standard web search. As tech giants pour billions into creating immersive digital worlds, this virtual expansion comes with a very real energy cost – data centers supporting the metaverse could consume as much as 2.4-3.2% of global electricity by 2030, comparable to the entire energy consumption of a country like Japan. While we marvel at digital avatars attending virtual concerts or businesses conducting meetings in elaborate digital spaces, these experiences ride on a massive physical infrastructure of servers, cooling systems, and networking equipment that runs…

Reconciliation legislation adopted by the American House of Representatives in May can endanger the solar and storage courts nationally in May if the Senate cannot improve the recovery of tax credits for clean energy passed by the house. New state-per-state analysis that was released today by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) warns that Solar and Storage jobs can be attached to every US state if the bill continues with the house. States Like California, Texas, Florida and Illinois would be hit Hardest, and the Majority of Job Losses Will Be in States Won by President Trump in 2024. Texas,…
