Energy and AI

The International Energy Agency's 2025 report Energy and AI. Both papers cite it, with the IEA's 2026 report, for data-center electricity data and the 2030 projection in the computational-ratio panels (Flagship Fig. 5d, Companion Fig. 10b). These data give Earth's computational ratio, a measure tracked for the long arc (C3).
