In this episode of AeroSyn Voices, Kunal reflects on the energy behind our digital lives. From uploading photos and streaming videos to using AI every day, everything that feels invisible and effortless is powered by very real infrastructure running nonstop in the background.

The conversation explores how data centers consume energy around the clock, why digital demand doesn’t follow human rhythms, and what happens when an always-on digital world collides with an energy system still in transition. It looks at AI not as a feature, but as infrastructure, and asks whether clean energy systems are actually keeping pace with the world we’re building.

This episode isn’t about blaming technology or individual users. It’s about understanding the physical reality behind the cloud, the limits of our current energy systems, and why honesty, speed, and better planning matter if we want a sustainable digital future.
