Data Centers in Space and Under Water: The Wild Future of IT Energy Solutions

As AI drives a 160% increase in data center power demand (Goldman Sachs), the IT industry faces a stark energy crisis. At the same time, companies are struggling to meet their zero-emission commitments, leaving a gap between environmental goals and operational realities.

In this video, we explore:
✅ The push for clean energy and the role of hyperscale giants like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.
✅ Bold innovations like underwater data centers (Microsoft’s Project Natick) and space-based data centers powered by solar energy.
✅ Real-world challenges in IT asset disposition (ITAD), with examples of banks, Alaska, and decommissioning complexities.
✅ What these trends mean for the future of IT and energy sustainability.

Can tech breakthroughs help balance sustainability goals with skyrocketing demand? Or are we headed for an unsolvable crisis? Join the conversation and share your thoughts!
