AI's gas-plant boom, and the fight to stop it
AI data centres have triggered the largest-ever natural gas power plant construction boom, with some facilities consuming as much electricity as mid-size cities. Wind and solar cannot scale fast enough to meet demand, forcing utilities and governments to keep aging coal plants running past retirement. Several US states are responding with legislation tying data centre tax incentives to renewable energy benchmarks. Clean-energy advocates, unable to outbuild the boom, are targeting regulators instead — pushing for rules that let large power users build their own clean generation and connect it to the grid. Google and others have struck deals to add geothermal, wind, and solar capacity in exchange for grid access. Grid interconnection queues, not legislatures, are seen as the decisive battleground, with policy decisions made now likely to shape energy infrastructure for two to three decades.
