AI doesn't run on vibes. It runs on electricity.
Right now, two contradictory trends are on a collision course:
Oil is above $100. The Hormuz blockade threatens supply. BP just posted an exceptional trading quarter because energy is expensive and getting scarcer.
At the same time, Goldman projects a 220% surge in data center power demand. AI infrastructure requires unprecedented energy investment. Nuclear, grid upgrades, co-location deals, all on the table.
The energy crisis is deepening. And AI is demanding more power than the grid can reliably provide.
These two stories are next to each other in today's news for a reason. The math doesn't work unless something gives. Either AI scales back, or energy supply scales up dramatically, or we find out what happens when infinite demand meets constrained supply.
