Prioritizing Speed-to-Power for AI Infrastructure on DOE Land
This recent Request for Information on the siting of AI infrastructure on DOE lands is an example of the Department of Energy setting out to do just that. In our response, C3 Solutions argued that speed-to-power should be the chief consideration when assessing the projects and that a variety of tools should be used to achieve speed-to-power.
