As the AI boom sends shockwaves across energy grids around the world, global leaders are rushing to add extra power production capacity as fast as they can. The problem is, no one knows how much energy AI is going to be using a year or five years from now. In fact, we don’t even know how much it’s using right this moment. The result is a mad scramble to maintain energy security in the face of unprecedented uncertainty, with potentially disastrous results for global energy grids and climate goals.  “In the past few years,…

U.S. nuclear generation is projected to rise by 27% between 2035 and 2060, according to new analysis from Wood Mackenzie, as the rapid build-out of artificial-intelligence and cloud-computing infrastructure reshapes national electricity demand. The findings, cited by Reuters, suggest that a long-stagnant sector could enter a second expansion phase once legacy plants are extended and modular technologies reach commercial scale. The firm said U.S. nuclear power’s share of total electricity generation could stabilize near 20% through 2040 before…
