Money is everything so they say if you have it then you have the world. Theoretically, you could make a case for currency being the ruler but if you look deeper it's what backs the currency in my opinion that makes it so valuable. So with new technologies and the all great tasks of incorporating these changes without an eye that acts as a periscope is a daunting task. 

One thing is clear we are getting digitized, if that is the case we will be heating more than the Global Warming Parade could imagine: 

Fun Facts: 

• Computers are always consuming energy even while sleeping 
• It takes 240Kw to Power your laptop vs 400Kw  to power your refrigerator
• Most electronic devices run off batteries, which rely on old energy sources to create power - Coal & Nuclear

So a quick summary of where that lists go, it produces heat, it's always on, and it needs the source of the highest output CO2 emission host to provide power - COAL. So with a digital age that will require more batteries ....there goes the fairy godmother in my head, there telling me a future of sustainability that includes wind, solar, biomass, hydropower, and geothermal power. So what if I told you once you have your battery powered robot it would be able to power itself through on it's on....were talking a Robot heart for pete's sake.......

Here are some of the technologies that will pay the piper for Robocop and AI technology into the future, these energy sources will also require less energy to support

• Nuclear powered battery - Concept seems artificial but they are being tested as we speak. One Nuclear powered battery could keep your phone charged forever 
• Solar power there in front yards all over the world when you talk about lighting for your landscape treasures, they can do the same for battery powered devices in the future 
• Lithium Air Breathing batteries - you heard it ...  oxidiser instead of material 
• Plant Manager - photosynthesis to charge your phone believe it or not 
• Skin power who produces the most CO2's , humans let's use it ...if you didn't know we are technically robots already we produce energy 
• Singing Music Sound powering your battery noise produces something why not energy for your battery the uBeam is another source of power, Energous WattUp is another source that produces power 
• This is proper website, but there is another source of power that we can produce that can power our future...let's call it the rechargeable toilet bowl  (Bill Gates foundation working on this) 

Take a look at Pocket-lint.com for an even longer lists of potentials. So all the heat and power fears, let's mute them, for now, human ingenuity strikes again.
