ChatGHG: the AI data center boom and what it means for energy and climate

​Advances in AI models and applications are driving the rapid buildout of data centers across the country. With electricity as a critical input to compute, the pace of this buildout has simultaneously driven:

• ​groundbreaking forward purchase commitments for zero-carbon technologies such as enhanced geothermal, advanced nuclear, and CCS;

• ​the development and operation of gigawatts of new on-site natural gas generation;

• ​local air quality issues from mobile generators operating as baseload power; and,

• ​creative strategies to expedite interconnection when paired with renewable and energy storage resources.

​Join an amazing group of data center and energy leaders to unpack how these trends are playing out across the US and the world.
