1 week ago Puerto Rico case study provides better way to plan for energy transitions

A new article published in Nature Communications offers insight into how government planners can better account for the many uncertainties that accompany the transition from fossil-fuel power systems to renewable or decarbonized systems. The paper, titled "Identifying key uncertainties in energy transitions with a Puerto Rico case study," is the work of a team from the University of Virginia including first author Kamiar Khayambashi, a Ph.D. student in the School of Engineering and Applied Science.

2 w. ago Google plans to power a new data center with fossil fuels, yet release almost no emissions

As AI data centers spring up across the country, their energy demand and resulting greenhouse gas emissions are raising concerns. With servers and energy-intensive cooling systems constantly running, these buildings can use anywhere from a few megawatts of power for a small data center to more than 100 megawatts for a hyperscale data center. To put that in perspective, the average large natural gas power plant built in the U.S. generates less than 1,000 megawatts.

As artificial intelligence becomes more powerful and widespread, so does the environmental cost of running it. Behind every chatbot, image generator, and television streaming recommendation are massive banks of millions of computers housed in an increasing number of data centers that consume staggering amounts of electricity and water to keep their machines cool. Most of that electricity is still produced by fossil fuel-burning power plants, which contribute directly to air pollution and climate change.
