    will there be huge power plants just dedicated to AI all over the world soon?

    Construction has started(or will soon) to convert a retired coal power plant in Pennsylvania to gas power, specifically for data-centers. Upon completion in 2027 it will likely be the third most powerful plant in the US.

    The largest coal plant in North Dakota was considering shutting down in 2022 over financial issues, but is now approved to power a new data-center park.

    Location has been laid out for a new power plant in Texas, from a single AI company you’ve probably never heard of.

    And on it goes.
