Artificial Intelligence Means Farewell to “Net-Zero’ Fantasy
Posted to Energy August 13, 2025 by Peter Murphy
 
Artificial Intelligence is upon us, is here to stay, and is heading in one direction:  more.

More AI means more electric power generation — a lot more.

“Green” or “renewable” energy is not going to cut it, no matter the fantasies of the climate-change doomsday crowd. That means the climate goals of “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2050, or whatever is the latest movable goal post set by the U.N., federal and state bureaucrats, is a dead letter.

Net-zero always was a farcical, unscientific and unrealistic dogma designed to reorder societies and increase government and bureaucratic control over the economy, with ever-diminishing freedom for individuals.

Artificial Intelligence requires large-scale computational capacity housed in data centers that require massive amounts of electrical power. According to a report by the RAND Corp. this year, AI data centers worldwide need more than 20 gigawatts of power to operate, which is twice the total capacity of the state of Utah and its more than 3.5 million people.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

A booming voice from the heavens could ring out and say:  "Democrats, you're wrong about global warming" and God would be denied millions of times. :headbang:

The point they've missed is that under Net Zero we were all supposed to die and then there would be plenty of power for AI.

Net-Zero = Divide by Zero
