Red tape has slowed down grid improvements for years, leaving us with a T&D network that needs to be modernized and expanded. Until we see widespread grid improvements, we must ask a necessary question: Can we get aging infrastructure to work harder?
Powering AI Without Powering Up Your Bills: The Case for Co-Locating Energy and Data Centers
Artificial intelligence is changing the world at an incredible pace. From automating tasks to generating human-like conversations, AI is becoming an essential tool in nearly every industry. However, many people don’t realize that AI consumes a massive amount of electricity.
Economic Freedom and the Real Climate Hoax
Innovation, investment, and the cleanest possible energy production thrive best in freer markets that encourage competition instead of having politicians pick winners and losers. That, in a nutshell, is the lesson of the latest Free Economies are Clean Economies report.
A Secretarial Order to Unleash the National Labs
Secretary of Energy Chris Wright announced an executive order on March 27, 2025, to improve the efficiency of the National Laboratories and to reduce bureaucratic kludge at these key federal research and development centers.
Could Enhanced Geothermal Systems Help Solve Our Data Center Power Problem?
As data centers consume more power, energy solutions are necessary to meet increased energy demand while lowering carbon emissions. Expanded geothermal power might provide a solution that meets both these objectives.
Controlled Environment Agriculture Can Revolutionize Specialty Farming
Whereas traditional farming has distinct planting and harvest seasons, Controlled Environment Agriculture goes beyond that. It enables year-round planting and harvesting of crops by utilizing climate-controlled indoor spaces, such as greenhouses and vertical farms.
As Goes Texas, So Can the World
The world needs more energy. Whether delivering electricity to a community in Africa for the first time or powering the data center revolution, energy access is essential for human flourishing. While many global politicians and business leaders talk about an energy transition, economic reality demonstrates that the world is headed for an energy expansion. We need energy of all kinds—above and below the ground.
Accelerating American AI and Energy Dominance on Military Bases and National Labs
But there is a way to move even more quickly. The place to unleash new technology is on land already controlled and secured by the U.S. government: American military bases and National Laboratories. With the stroke of a pen, the administration could open up the development of data centers co-located with new energy projects at these locations.
Silicon, Graphene, and the Future of Energy-Efficient Computing
Computers are consuming more power, generating more heat, and demanding greater efficiency than silicon alone can provide. Now, the industry is seeking alternatives, and one material stands out as a potential game-changer: graphene.
