OpenAI demands 100 gigawatts (GW) of new energy capacity per year (equivalent to 80 million households) to sustain AI data centers, framing electricity as "the new oil" for global dominance.
This pits
AI's energy demands against human needs, risking power shortages and
grid instability.
The U.S. lags behind China, which added
429 GW of new capacity in 2024 (vs. America's 51 GW). OpenAI warns of an
"electron gap" that could cede AI leadership to Beijing, pushing for
urgent government-private sector collaboration to avoid falling behind.
Tech
giants like Google and OpenAI are embracing nuclear power, despite past
climate rhetoric. Google is reviving a mothballed Iowa nuclear plant,
while OpenAI pushes for fast-tracked reactors. However, Westinghouse
(bankrupt, over-budget) is building 10 new reactors, raising concerns
about reliability and cost.
Water Wars and Depopulation
Fears: AI data centers require massive water cooling, worsening droughts
in already water-scarce regions. OpenAI's push for critical mineral
stockpiles hints at supply chain control, while skeptics suspect
globalist depopulation schemes—where resource competition accelerates
societal collapse.
Big Tech has abandoned climate dogma,
prioritizing cheap power over sustainability. Meta commissioned a 2-GW
gas plant, and OpenAI's energy demands prioritize AI growth over
environmental concerns. The looming question: Will humans or machines
control power?
As the artificial intelligence (AI)
revolution accelerates, an unprecedented energy crisis looms—one that
pits Silicon Valley against the American power grid, human needs against
machine demands, and the United States against China in a high-stakes
battle for technological supremacy.
OpenAI, the company
behind ChatGPT, has issued an urgent call for the U.S. government to
mobilize 100 gigawatts (GW) of new energy capacity per year—equivalent
to roughly 80 million households' worth of electricity—or risk losing
the AI arms race to China....<<<Read More>>>...
