tkg I believe a 25% data consumption usage is absolutely unattainable as restrictions on data center upgrades would ensue. Our power grid system could not handle that and there would be regulatory pushbacks.

The U.S. power grid is not in good shape. Most of the U.S. power grid system was built in the 1960s and 1970s and currently 70 percent of transmission lines are over 25 years old, getting close to needing replacement. The system is approaching the end of its typical 50–80-year lifecycle. It takes anywhere from 5-15 years to plan, get approval for permits and build out new, more power infrastructure. This process would get speeded up if doing so became more of an urgency but considering the age of our power transmission system, it couldn't happen by 2030.

What this means is that data centers MUST solve a big portion of the power consumption problem and get on the ball sooner than later. Using LWLG technology and Linear-drive Pluggable Optics are both being looked at as options to lower power consumption. For data centers, lowering power is important but functionality will also drive the the choices and we have to wait to see how each technology gets developed.
