In this episode, I’m joined by Sons of Liberty Media contributor Suzanne Hamner and Dan Franklin. We’ll be discussing the amount of power that the new AI datacenters will be consuming and questioning the impact of this on the People, as well as the environment. We’ll also see how mRNA and chemtrails will play in …

AI Is Eating Data Center Power Demand—and It’s Only Getting Worse

A new analysis of AI hardware being produced and how it is being used attempts to estimate the vast amount of electricity being consumed by AI.

How Much Electricity It Actually Takes to Use AI May Surprise You

By now, most of us should be vaguely aware that artificial intelligence is hungry for power. Even if you don't know the exact numbers, the charge that "AI is bad for the environment" is well-documented, bubbling from sources ranging from mainstream press to pop-science YouTube channels to tech trade media. Still, the AI industry as we know it today is young. Though startups and big tech firms have been plugging away on large language models (LLM…

Three takeaways about AI’s energy use and climate impacts

This week, we published Power Hungry, a package all about AI and energy. At the center of this package is the most comprehensive look yet at AI’s growing power demand, if I do say so myself.  This data-heavy story is the result of over six months of reporting by me and my colleague James O’Donnell (and the work of many others on our team). Over that time, with the help of leading researchers, we quantified the energy and emissions impacts of ind…
