Re: [E-impact] Carbon-Intelligent Global Routing in Path-Aware Networks

Hi all,

I completely agree with Vesna.

The only way in the middle-long term, starting in the short term, is
the degrowth in all aspects and activities, including the ICT sector.

We have to be concern and work in mind that no single renewable energy
source, or a combination of some or all, will provide the necessary
energy needs provided now by fossil energy sources.

Yes, we have to define a desirable roadmap to decrease the energy use
to keep running Internet in a degrowth scenario, that is the only
sustainable way to go.

BEST
