> It uses as much power and water as Guatemala

It won't but even if it did, Guatemala has a per capita co2 output of 1 ton, America in comparison is 15 tons

We're not even close even with an AI supercomputer tacked on top

Also if you think 40 billion on AI is ridiculous, what's 100 billion on renewables?

Saudi Arabia's energy minister on Monday said that the kingdom plans to invest 380 billion riyals ($101 billion) in renewable energy projects

@ikt @jimray Per capita can be deceiving, though. Most of America's emissions are _not_ from median people, they're from industry.

Per capita is actually kinda useless here, but so are numbers like "as much as Guatemala." How much does Guatemala use, as a portion of America's usage? Is this an increase to US pollution of 10%? 1%? 50%? The graph makes me think "closer to .1%", but I can't tell.

That said, bumping demand while adding renewables is a mistake; doing so is why we don't have enough!

@pixx @jimray I don't see why we can't do both, if China is pumping out the same as Europe and USA combined, why can't Europe and USA independently pump out as much renewables as China?
