Global power consumption is hitting new highs, and here's what's really driving it: the simultaneous explosion of AI infrastructure buildout and the massive integration of renewable energy systems. It's not just about one trend—both are accelerating hard right now. For crypto and blockchain networks, this matters because power demand directly shapes infrastructure costs, mining economics, and the overall feasibility of scaled deployment. The dual push toward computational intensity and clean energy means we're witnessing a fundamental reshaping of how digital infrastructure gets powered. #QualityGrowth

The issue of AI consuming electricity has been recognized for a long time. Now we're just waiting for energy to catch up. Only when clean energy becomes available can mining costs truly decrease, and that is the real key.

The issue of AI consuming electricity ultimately boils down to reshaping the energy structure. Crypto will eventually follow this wave of benefits.

The power consumption is exploding... The collision of AI and clean energy forces means that miners in the crypto world are probably going to have to recalculate their costs again.

AI consumes electricity, we consume gas, cycle after cycle, this is market efficiency, right? Haha

AI and energy are really competing fiercely now, and mining costs are skyrocketing.
