ELECTRICITY GOVERNOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION & DIGITALIZATION
If you look at the graph above, you can see that global warming started accelerating in the 1990s, which is when mobile phones were introduced...
A nationwide 2020G microwave radio network has been in the process of being installed in Germany since 21/5. In addition to the 60.000 transmitters already installed, around 800.000 more will be added, and an additional 50.000 satellites are to be launched into orbit.

Madness 5G
Then hundreds of billions of "intelligent", broadcasting machines and small devices are to be added worldwide in addition to all the mobile phones, smartphones and tablets in order to build the "Internet of Things". Radio-based digitization on this scale will further increase the total radiation exposure with unforeseen consequences for the biosphere on which all life, including our own, depends.
The expansion of the mobile network will also cause the demand for electricity to explode, with electricity that is probably mainly generated from fossil fuels. This alone reduces the climate targets to absurdity. In addition, there is the heating effect of the emitted microwave radiation on the atmosphere.
According to a study by the RWTH Aachen on behalf of the energy supplier EON, the energy requirement is going through the roof thanks to 5G. Electricity requirements in Germany could increase by 2025 terawatt hours (TWh) by 3,8 – due to the 5G network alone. Enough electricity to supply all 2,5 million people in Düsseldorf, Cologne and Dortmund with electricity for a whole year.

A small bill
According to the Federal Ministry of Economics, a power consumption of 2009 GWh / year was installed in stationary systems in 3.100. A year has 8760 hours, so you get a continuous output of 354 kW. If you now assume an increase in mobile communications within 10 years (until 2019) by a factor of 3, you get an output of 1062 kW.
Current studies say that 31,9 kWh / year are consumed per mobile phone for the mobile infrastructure, i.e. 3,7 W permanently.
If you now average the power consumption of a mobile phone, depending on usage behavior, current studies speak of 1,9 to 3,3 kWh / year, with smartphones even up to 7,5 kWh / year, this would correspond to a continuous output of 217 W to 380 W or 860W (smartphone)
Assuming that there are 97,4 million mobile phones in Germany, the continuous output is between 2.152,540 MW and 8.376,400 MW, i.e. between around 2,1 GW and 8,4 GW.
If you now take an average nuclear power plant with 1,4 GW as a basis, we still need up to 6 nuclear power plants to provide the power consumption of mobile communications in Germany.
Power guzzlers mobile devices
The other mobile end devices, such as tablets and the like, are not yet taken into account here, as are WLAN hotspots, DECT base stations, etc. Likewise, there is still an outside front here that the power arriving on site decreases logarithmically in the distance to the antenna, i.e. further away too to provide a corresponding transmission power, significantly more energy has to be pumped into the transmission signal...
However, I think that the magnitude of the power consumption is roughly correct and if you now convert this transmission power into heat, then there is a lot to do with the climate. - The transmitter (microwave radiation) generate heat - all the power has to go somewhere, this has even been confirmed by official bodies such as the BfS - the thermal effect is generally recognised!
- You should come up with values that definitely contribute to global warming - in addition to the heating by the power plants with the well-known greenhouse gases such as CO2...
Quite apart from how climate-neutral all the required electricity is generated...
I think the young people who are so commendable for climate protection (fridays for future) should also think about their own use of smartphones and the like...
It has already been proven that the Internet is the "country" with the sixth largest power consumption in the world. “Even data centers have an exhaustff"

Eco? - Electricity
However, “sustainable” power generation from wind and sun also has its pitfalls. With the increased use of wind energy, large areas of land would be paved over with wind turbines - not really a satisfactory solution from an optical point of view. There are also problems with infrasound, since due to the design, whenever a rotor blade passes the mast, air vortices form there, which then leads to imbalances in the run of the rotor, which then cause the infrasound. Here, too, the dispute between residents who feel disturbed by this and the operators is already inevitable
But photovoltaics is also a problem, mainly because of the inverters, which cause very "strange" harmonics in the power grid.

ways out
-
Digitization for the people, not as an end in itself
The goal should be to relieve people of annoying routine, not the data hunger of the tech companies -
cable before radio
Transmitting a signal via radio always costs more energy than through a wire, fiber optics is the best choice here -
consistent energy saving
What does it really take? -
question your own use
Video streaming on the smartphone is senseless exposure to radiation and waste of electricity. Is constant availability really that desirable?
