The rapid growth of AI technology is raising concerns about the availability of electricity to power data centers. AI systems have immense power requirements, and the demand is expected to increase significantly as more AI-focused data centers are established. The United States alone may require an additional 18 to 30 gigawatts of capacity in the next few years. While tech companies have invested in renewable energy, data centers require a consistent power source that renewables may not always provide. The consequences extend beyond power concerns, with communities near data centers experiencing disruptions to their quality of life. Proactive measures, such as capping power usage and incentivizing sustainable practices, are crucial to balance the potential of AI with environmental responsibility.
