AI Execs Are Turning to Fossil Fuels to Power Their Tech Revolution
==========

AI is driving a massive demand for electricity, potentially forcing AI companies to rely more on fossil fuels. The energy demands of AI may surpass the capacities of clean sources like wind and solar power. Nuclear facilities take years to build, making them an impractical option for immediate power needs. Some executives believe that the growth in AI won't impede the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, but it does complicate the process. Executives are considering natural gas as a solution to meet the energy demands of data centers.
