The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[n4807g]

Trying to "get up to speed" on AI/data centers/and the infrastructure requirements to meet demand. The more I research the more I'm realizing what an enormous task lies ahead. Here's a good article about the issues in Virginia. Northern Virginia data centers consume around 25% of the states data electricity capacity (and growing).

It is astonishing how much additional electric generating capacity the USA and world will need to build out the AI driven future. Many of the articles I've read suggest renewables will play a significant role; I'm a skeptic. Renewables suffer from disruption in output while data centers need 360/24/7 constant input. You don't get that from renewables.
