The AI-energy Nexus: From Silicon To Sustainability
AI promises to accelerate the energy transition—optimizing grids, forecasting demand, and powering climate tech at scale. But behind every intelligent model lies an invisible energy cost. As AI grows more powerful, so does its appetite for compute—and electricity. Are we solving one crisis while quietly fueling another?
The New York Times Debate: Is AI the New Plastic?

Will the benefits of AI outweigh its costs?
