RAND developed four 20-year scenarios of ICT evolution (2001?2021) for the U.S. Department of Energy and assessed their implications for future U.S. electricity requirements. Increased power consumption by ICT equipment is the most direct and visible effect, but not necessarily the most important. Over time, the effects that ICTs have on energy management, e-commerce, telework, and 606 $aTelecommunication systems$xPower supply 606 $aElectric power consumption$zUnited States$xForecasting 615 0$aTelecommunication systems$xPower supply. 615 0$aElectric power consumption$xForecasting. 676 $a333.79/6 700 $aBaer$b Walter S$0936223 701 $aHassell$b Scott$f1974-$0936224 701 $aVollaard$b Ben A.$f1975-$0936225 712 02$aUnited States.$bDepartment of Energy. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219964503321 996 $aElectricity requirements for a digital society$92109089 997 $aUNINA
