Generative AI is rapidly advancing, with major companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Apple deploying these energy-intensive models. The electricity consumption of AI data centers is alarming, as they are projected to account for 6% of U.S. energy use by 2026, up from 4% in 2022. This surge in energy demand raises concerns about increased carbon emissions and the strain on the aging electrical grid.
The environmental impact of these data centers is significant, with Google and Microsoft reporting substantial increases in carbon emissions due to their energy consumption. Communities are pushing back against new data center developments, prompting lawmakers in various states to investigate their energy use and effects on grid reliability. As AI technology continues to grow, it is crucial for these companies to adopt sustainable practices to avoid undermining climate goals.
