I knew you’d continue to clutch at straws pushing the needless agenda but I didn’t think you’d resort to Corbynism as the answer to achieve it.

A multi-billion pound answer as a solution to a problem we invent.
It’s not my idea or solution. I merely pointed out what was being considered.

Electricity usage by information technologies was around 2,000 terawatt-hours in 2010; by most estimates it will exceed 8,000 terawatt-hours by the end of this decade. That’s around 20% of global electricity consumption. The worst case estimate is up to 50%.

If you think that driving TV broadcast infrastructure onto data networks won’t have a significant impact on the national grid, I’d love some of what you’re smoking.

I wish you would.
The point I was making was that you were putting forward a reason why extensive streaming couldn’t happen. I know you sourced the article, but as usual you just cannot see that these problems can be overcome.

And, of course, we are overcoming it, aren’t we?
