Episode notes
Infrastructure Is The Rate-Limiter
- Data center power and thermal infrastructure must scale massively to match AI compute growth.
- Without industrial-scale power and cooling builds, AI cannot expand at the required speed.
AI Enables Energy Efficiency
- AI both consumes huge energy and enables energy efficiency through automation and digitalization.
- Electrification plus AI-driven optimization can accelerate the energy transition across industries.
Pursue An All-Of-The-Above Energy Mix
- Invest in a mix of power sources and expand generation capacity, including gas, nuclear, wind, solar, and hydrogen.
- Use gas as a bridge while future-proofing turbines for hydrogen to electrify now and decarbonize later.
