In this video, we dive deep into AI's hidden power crisis. As data centers power up to support advanced models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Microsoft’s Copilot, they’re drawing massive amounts of energy—more than we ever expected. With AI demand predicted to grow by 20% each year through 2030, data centers could soon use up 16% of all U.S. electricity. That’s as much power as two-thirds of all American homes combined!

We explore how major tech companies are taking action. Microsoft has secured fusion energy contracts set to begin by 2028, and OpenAI’s Sam Altman is investing in nuclear startups like Oklo and Helion. Companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia are also turning to renewable energy, aiming to power their data centers with solar, geothermal, and other sustainable sources. Can these green energy solutions keep up with AI’s explosive growth? Or will our grid buckle under the pressure?

Join us as we uncover what this energy demand means for the future of AI and what’s being done to power the next generation of technology sustainably. Don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments, hit that like button, and subscribe to stay updated on the latest in tech and AI.
