In our new series, Explain It to Me, Vox takes audience questions and investigates, speaks to experts, and delivers an answer. For this video, a retired schoolteacher in New York named Kathy submitted a question to us about how things like cryptocurrency, cloud storage, and artificial intelligence are impacting the nation’s climate goals. 

Crypto, AI, and cloud storage are all a part of the carbon footprint of data centers. In this video, we unpack what exactly we know about data centers’ growing electricity demands, how AI is factoring into that picture, and whether clean energy can keep up.
