Data centers are being built at a rapid pace to meet the power needs of generative AI, and concerns are mounting about whether we can generate enough energy to fuel the growth. One ChatGPT query takes about 10 times as much energy as a typical Google search and training a large language model can produce as much CO2 as the entire lifetime of five gas-powered cars. Now data centers are building closer to available power, as the invests in alternate energy sources and tries to hard the grid.
