Is the rapid advancement of AI causing worries about a potential energy crisis? While concerns regarding energy consumption are valid, a significant bottleneck in electrical grid bureaucracy is hindering progress. Imagine massive clean energy projects languishing in red tape, unable to power our expanding digital world – including the booming cryptocurrency and AI sectors. The solution might be surprisingly simple: leveraging AI to streamline this often-cumbersome process. Google and PJM, the electricity grid operator for the mid-Atlantic region, are joining forces to explore this potential. This collaboration aims to unlock vast amounts of renewable energy and ease power shortage anxieties.
