Sparingly

Things are likely to get worse as new manufacturing plants come online and increase production capacity. Chip-maker TSMC, which supplies Nvidia, is investing in new factories that could provide1.5 million servers a year by 2027, and all that hardware could consume 85.4 terawatt-hours of energy a year, says de Vries.

With businesses rushing to integrate Al into their products, Nvidia will probably have no problem clearing its stock. But de Vries says it is important for Al to be used sparingly, given its high environmental cost.
