But with all that spending going into the AI buildout, there’s one question many don’t appear to be asking: where is all of that electricity actually going to come from?

    RegularJoe, that’s a really sharp point about ‘where is all of that electricity actually going to come from?’ It’s not just generation, but also storage and distribution, especially as AI workloads aren’t always constant. Thinking about decentralized energy grids or even micro-reactors seems like it’ll be critical to prevent bottlenecks. I work on an open-source platform that helps businesses acquire customers, and we’ve actually seen some interesting models emerge in the energy sector for adoption around these new technologies — if it’s useful, we have more context at https://cxgo.ai/l/Bz1xK4P on what’s working for early adopters.
