In the 2020s, the race for AI data centers has Big Tech searching for ways to add multiple gigawatts of additional grid capacity to a regional power grid.
In a famous movie about time travel, the mad scientist tells the teenage hero that the time machine requires 1.21 gigawatts of power to operate.
The European Union's string of record-setting solar power deployment is on track to come to an end this year as demand wanes for rooftop solar panels due to lower wholesale electricity prices. Solar power additions are set to contract 1.4% in the EU, the first annual dip since 2016, according to a report from industry group Solar Power Europe. While new additions are still at historically high levels, it shows the impact on growth of saturated solar power markets where prices regularly dip below zero during the sunniest parts of the year. Overall, the EU is on track to add 64.2 gigawatts of new capacity, according to the industry group. That view contrasts with analysis from BloombergNEF that sees slight growth this year in the bloc.
gloss: The amount of data center capacity or amount of compute that this amount of power can provide under the current technological state of the art (PUE, clock speed, etc).
pos: noun

“We’re gonna need stadiums full of electricians, heavy equipment operators, ironworkers, HVAC technicians,” Dwarkesh Patel and Romeo Dean, AI-industry analysts, wrote recently. Large-scale data-center build-outs may already be reshaping America’s energy systems. OpenAI has announced that it intends to build at least 30 gigawatts’ worth of data centers—more power than all of New England requires on even the hottest day—and CEO Sam Altman has said he’d eventually like to build a gigawatt of AI infrastructure every week. Other major tech firms have similar ambitions.

As of 2025, it was estimated that all of the power stations on Earth were collectively generating about 15 terawatts at any given instant.
If you are about to harvest all the hydropower of the world—this implies the schemes in which all of Greenland has to be engineered for hydropower—you have a total of something like 2.9 terawatts. If you go to large scale deployment of wind power facilities, the upper limit is 1, 2, or 3 terawatts. Tidal power for .04, wave power, if you want to have 1 terawatt, you have to provide a linear facility almost of the length of the perimeter of the earth. Ocean thermal gradient within ten kilometers of the coast line—.35 terawatts. Therefore, the renewable resources all have a similar thing in common: namely to be on the scale of 1 terawatt but not dozens of terawatts. That is the message. Energy conservation can bring you 1 terawatt and it falls in line with the soft options, but not dozens of terawatts. So what do you do then when dozens of terawatts are at stake? Fortunately there is more than one option to provide, but they all have their problems.

LLMs generate text using opaque algorithms that even their designers struggle to control. Wikilambda makes every part of every algorithm available to anyone. In short, Wikilambda is contestable. If you ask an LLM to generate an article on a topic, the only way to contest its algorithm is to click 👍 or 👎. If you are unhappy with an article generated by Abstract Wikipedia, you will be able to: change the “abstract” content in Wikidata; change the algorithms that construct or render the article in Wikifunctions; or sever the connection between the article and Abstract Wikipedia, and edit the article the old-fashioned way in Wikipedia.
