Amazon's acquisition of a nuclear-powered data center reflects the escalating energy demands driven by artificial intelligence (AI). As companies like Amazon and others ramp up AI capabilities, significant electricity consumption growth is projected—up 64% by 2027. This surge in energy demand poses challenges for sustainability, as tech giants grapple with meeting their climate targets while relying on energy-intensive data centers. The trend raises critical questions about the future of energy infrastructure, the role of renewable sources, and how AI can play a part in solving these challenges.
