We’ve been told that we cannot produce enough energy to support increased streaming, that streamers are not the future, that TV channels will go on forever, and what do we see?

The fact that not quite everyone gets broadband at the moment and that some have to put up with very low speeds is accepted, but why do you consider such things to be insurmountable? And as for electricity, that has long been scotched.

TV channels are set to be closed down, and increased content is going to the streamers instead. We are living in a world of change, where anything is possible.
Apparently 97% of the UK now has access to some form of fibre broadband. Whether it's FTTC, VDSL, G. fast, cable, or FTTP.

As for energy. The National Grid have stated there is plenty of energy available for electric car charging so I'm sure it'll cope with some streaming
