UN report says AI data center power and water use will double by 2030

联合国报告：2030年AI数据中心水电消耗将翻倍

A UN University report projects global data center power use will rise to 945 TWh by 2030, with AI accounting for 40%, while water use will increase to 9.3 trillion liters.

Why it matters: HKR-K is strong with 2030 power and water forecasts, while HKR-H/R work through the resource-cost hook. This is a credible trend report, not a model or product release, so it stays in the lower featured band.
