Information

                                                               The Internet Eats Up Less Energy Than You Might Think


Paragraph A

New research by two leading scientists says some dire warnings of environmental damage from technology are overstated. The giant tech
companies with their power-hungry, football-field-size data centers are not the environmental villains they are sometimes portrayed to be on
social media and elsewhere.

Paragraph B
Shutting off your Zoom camera or throttling your Netflix service to lower-definition viewing does not yield a big saving in energy use,
contrary to what some people have claimed. Even the predicted environmental impact of Bitcoin, which does require lots of computing
firepower, has been exaggerated considerably by some researchers.
Paragraph C

Those are the conclusions of a new analysis by Jonathan Koomey and Eric Masanet, two leading scientists in the field of technology, energy
use and the environment. Both are former researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. 

Paragraph D
They said their analysis, published on Thursday as a commentary article in Joule, a scientific journal, was not necessarily intended to be
reassuring. Instead, they said, it is meant to inject a dose of reality into the public discussion of technology’s impact on the environment.

Paragraph E

The surge in digital activity spurred by the Covid-19 pandemic, the scientists said, has fueled the debate and prompted dire warnings of
environmental damage. They are concerned that wayward claims, often amplified by social media, could shape behavior and policy. “We’re
trying to provide some mental tools and guidelines for thinking about our increasingly digital lifestyles and the impact on energy
consumption and the environment,” Mr. Masanet said. The headline on their analysis is “Does not compute: Avoiding pitfalls in assessing the
internet’s energy and carbon impacts.”
