Lots of work on that issue everywhere !
- new tech give opportunities to hurt environment and asks for energy as never before in History
- it also offers opportunities to solve issues (eg : working from home with network, clean techs... can drastically reduce energy use for any given task).
I could have taken examples in health, food, whatever...
the real and only issue is what we use it for (money ? progress ? rich people ? all of us...)
and THAT is not a question of technics or science.
