Tech titans are about to unleash an energy apocalypse that would make even the most hardcore climate activists nervous. OpenAI and Nvidia are plotting a $100 billion AI infrastructure project that’ll require power equivalent to 10 nuclear reactors – because apparently, saving the planet is so last season.

The tech world’s power-hungry AI overlords are stepping up their game with an absolutely bonkers plan that sounds more like a sci-fi plot than a business strategy. Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang is casually dropping plans to invest $100 billion in data center capacity, which translates to an eye-watering $35 billion just for computer chips.

The Nuclear Option

In a move that screams “we do what we want,” tech companies are now courting nuclear power like it’s the hottest Tinder date. Microsoft already revived the infamous Three Mile Island reactor, while Amazon snagged a data center right next to a nuclear plant. It’s giving serious “last resort” energy.

The Power Apocalypse

Here’s the kicker: these AI data centers might consume more electricity than entire states. A planned Wyoming AI center could use more power than all residential homes in the state combined. The International Energy Agency is low-key freaking out, predicting data centers could consume nearly 1% of global electricity by 2030.

The Billionaire’s Playground

Sam Altman’s ambitions are so massive, he’s reportedly seeking five to seven 5-gigawatt data centers. To put that into perspective, that’s twice the power consumption of New York State. Because why aim small when you can basically power an entire metropolis?

Welcome to the future, folks – where AI doesn’t just threaten our jobs, but potentially our entire power grid. Stay tuned, and maybe invest in some backup generators.
