Because it feels like processes have got more efficient.
Batteries last longer on laptops and on phones.
We have a certain pool of energy.
Just use less of it.

Well, Karim, thank you so much for joining us on Technology Now.
It's been a real pleasure.
Thank you.
Thank you, Michael, for having me.
As you know, I'm a bit of an energy nerd.
I do quite like thinking and talking about energy as a solar panel and battery owner.
So I found this episode, push some buttons for me.
And I think the big takeaway for me was just about the fact that we're using more energy, but the energy generation isn't necessarily growing with the demand.
And so there's a disconnect there.
So the energy has to come from somewhere.
Yeah.
And I think with everything that's been going on in the news over the last few weeks, I think energy sovereignty hit the headlines that not necessarily that phrase, but the concept of countries, organizations thinking, do we have enough, you know, are the energy costs going to go up so much that we have to make some decisions about whether we can afford to pay it?
And so the concept of energy sovereignty, I think is quite an interesting one.
And where I live in the UK, we have a lot of wind generation.
