Bloomberg News: Big tech data centers, & AI are ‘going to disrupt the green transition’ as utilities ‘rely heavily on natural gas, & even coal’ to ‘have reliable & affordable power’
Bloomberg News: Big tech companies need lots of electricity, for data centers and especially for artificial intelligence. Homes are using more electricity for heating and cooling. Factories need more electricity to shift away from fossil fuels. … That’s really going to disrupt the green transition. Power providers that have made pledges to cut back or eliminate carbon emissions are now starting to reverse course. Duke Energy Corp. plans to extend the life of its largest coal-fired power plant, which would push aside its goal to exit coal by 2035. Duke has said that its resource plans are not final decisions and are revised regularly.
Power providers that have made pledges to cut back or eliminate carbon emissions are now starting to reverse course. … And all of that is before Donald Trump returns to the White House next month. The president-elect is well-known for his support of fossil fuels and his skepticism of climate policies.
