Nuclear energy is a zero-carbon power source, though there are ongoing controversies over radioactive waste management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constellation Energy\u2019s CEO Joseph Dominguez was positive about the move, stating, &#8220;This plant never should have been allowed to shut down. It will produce as much clean energy as all of the renewables [wind and solar] built in Pennsylvania over the last 30 years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constellation Energy stated that &#8220;Significant investments\u201d need to be made in the plant, including upgrading and renovating the \u201cturbine, generator, main power transformer, and cooling and control systems.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The rising power demands of AI<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft\u2019s decision to tap into nuclear power shows once again the staggering energy requirements of AI and supporting data center technology.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company has been expanding its data centers worldwide, with many of these facilities dedicated to supporting AI workloads, including the training and deployment of models that require vast amounts of computational power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training large AI models can consume thousands of megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to some sources, OpenAI\u2019s GPT-3, for instance, required over\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailyai.com\/2023\/10\/ai-could-consume-the-same-energy-as-the-netherlands-by-2027\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1,200 MWh to train,<\/a> which could power tens of thousands of homes for a day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hundreds, if not thousands, of powerful AI models are actively being trained at any one time today. AI models require power not just during training but also for day-to-day operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This surge in energy demand from AI is part of a broader trend. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that data centers currently account for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/energy-system\/buildings\/data-centres-and-data-transmission-networks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.3% of global electricity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> consumption, and this is set to rise significantly, with AI infrastructure driving much of the increase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 2030, data centers could consume up to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyai.com\/2024\/02\/data-center-energy-demands-soar-because-of-ai-how-do-we-sustain-it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8% of the world\u2019s electricity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, further straining energy grids already stretched thin by increasing reliance on digital services and electric vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Coal and nuclear to take up the slack<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the focus on nuclear energy highlights the tech industry&#8217;s need for low-carbon alternatives, AI\u2019s demand for power is remarkably breathing new life into coal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-01-25\/ai-needs-so-much-power-that-old-coal-plants-are-sticking-around?embedded-checkout=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloomberg<\/span><\/a> report from earlier in the year<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the rapid expansion of data centers is delaying the shutdown of coal plants across the US, defying the push for cleaner energy sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In areas like Kansas City, for example, the construction of data centers and electric vehicle battery factories has forced utility providers to halt plans to retire coal plants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft\u2019s decision to power its AI operations with nuclear energy brings the broader conversation of AI sustainability into sharp focus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the tech industry\u2019s growth outpacing energy supplies, innovative solutions are needed to bridge the gap between demand and production. OpenAI, for example, has <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyai.com\/2024\/02\/nuclear-fusion-and-ai-an-evolving-symbiotic-relationship\/\">actively invested in Helion<\/a>, a nuclear fusion project set to come online soon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on X, &#8220;If Helion works, it not only is a potential way out of the climate crisis but a path towards a much higher quality of life. Have loved being involved for the last 7 years and excited to be investing more.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite its controversies, nuclear power offers a credible solution to AI&#8217;s energy demands, particularly in regions struggling to transition fully to renewable energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the stakes are high. Building and maintaining nuclear plants still requires immense resources, and nuclear waste is challenging to dispose of. Many will see this as trivializing decarbonization and renewable energy strategies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We should say that this is still early days for the Microsoft-Constellation Energy deal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, exclusive, private deals like this are exceptionally rare, showing how power in the AI industry hinges on power in the literal sense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft har kunngjort en energiavtale om gjen\u00e5pning av kjernekraftverket Three Mile Island ved Susquehanna-elven n\u00e6r Harrisburg i Pennsylvania.
