Tech companies are facing a significant energy dilemma as the demand for generative AI models like ChatGPT and Google's Gemini surges. This escalating energy requirement could account for up to nine percent of all US electricity by the decade's end, a sharp rise from four percent today. In response, companies are exploring advanced geothermal power as a potential solution to meet their energy needs sustainably.
Meta has partnered with Sage Geosystems to develop geothermal power plants capable of delivering substantial carbon-free energy. This collaboration could provide a much-needed clean energy boost for tech firms struggling to balance their ambitious climate goals with rising energy demands. However, the scalability and cost-effectiveness of geothermal energy remain uncertain in the fast-paced AI landscape.
