Humans vs the machines

Who is going to be favoured in the competition for energy?  We average humans are increasingly pressured to reduce our energy "footprint" supposedly to save the planet from "climate change" while data centers and blockchain and other digital creations continue to use more and more energy. Is climate change just a scarecrow to make us accept what we would otherwise be reluctant to accept. Like the vaccines to supposedly "protect" us from the cerveza sickness.

Will the so called green energy sources like windmills and solar panels provide the ever increasing energy demands from the digital world and an increasing population?  At a time where we will need more and more energy then ever we are told that we have to eliminate our greatest energy sources: fossil fuels. Bitcoin alone consumes more electricity than a country of 45 million like Argentina. Data centers in Ireland consume more than the entire rural population of the country. The same thing is happening all over the world. Are we being asked to reduce our energy footprint to save "fight" climate change or to allow for more energy use by the digital world. If the policies of those in power right know are allowed to continue It would seem that we humans (minus those who will have government approval) may very well be facing energy rationing in favour of the machines in the not too distant futures.  Energy lockdowns are already being planned. Don't be surprised when they are announced.

F Dog, I am not a conspiracy theorist whether it is machine or someone else but that is indeed a scary thought. For me the last couple of year and rhetoric around climate change...........something just does not add up
