Argues that data should be treated like an energy source rather than oil, using Germany’s 1.7 million solar systems and renewables reaching ~37% (with some days covering 70–114% of demand) as context. Gives examples from wind OEMs collecting ~50 million sensor readings to predict failures and optimize service, notes edge gateways cost about €1,000 each, and claims AI requires large data volumes plus faster compute, daily software updates, and local clouds to control latency and data sovereignty.
