Energy has been a topic that has been coming up a lot in the past couple of months to couple of years.

And if I can summarize it in a tiny sentence, I would say that under the current system that exists, companies need to have limitless growth to a certain extent.

However, energy is not limitless.

So the energy that we have currently in the world is quite limited.

This topic has been coming up quite often.

So I guess what we're saying here is we're using more energy than we have potentially.

Yeah, exactly.

So there's a very interesting day that happens every year.

It's called earth overshoot.

And earth overshoot is basically when we as a planet utilize more resources in a year or in a certain time, then the planet can actually regenerate in that certain year.

And that is causing a lot of issues.

So there are a lot of sources that we can use to generate energy.

And the type and amount of energy that I'm using actually does not only affect from a carbon perspective, but it also affects from a price perspective.

And this is something that organizations are really thinking about these days.

So using less energy isn't necessarily a sort of green issue.

Yeah, exactly.

So if we're talking with folks from the industry and we're talking about carbon footprint, we're talking about emissions and so on, not everybody would be interested in having that conversation.

But when we shift that into a topic about efficiency and we ask questions such as, would you like to reduce your energy footprint or energy bill by 10 percent?

Nobody can actually say no to that.

What we talk about right now in the industry, we're talking about the AI gold rush, right?
