The energy agency, the IEA, recently said that AI electricity use in two thousand twenty-six will be the same as total electricity use in Japan. OK, it's astonishing.
Between the three of those, exponential growth of electricity has skyrocketed, and that's not going to be accomplished by solar panels... because the demands are so big.
Microsoft is going all in on alternative energy sources like geothermal and even reviving old nuclear reactors to meet the soaring electricity demands.
