Big Tech Switching from Solar & Wind to Natural Gas for Power
It's funny how Big Tech companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon, and others---all of them virtue-signalers---are willing to dump their virtue signaling (dump their insistence on using "green" energy) when it begins to affect the bottom line. We're seeing it now with AI (artificial intelligence) and data centers. Big Tech needs power to run AI, and it needs it NOW (over the next several years). Big Tech is coming to the realization that hillsides full of ugly solar panels and windmills are not the solution but the problem. Solar and wind energy are intermittent (i.e., unreliable), and the existing power grid is about at maximum right now. So what is Big Tech now doing after trashing fossil energy for most of the last decade? Big Tech is looking at gas-fired power plants once again as the solution to meet their power needs. Welcome back to sanity and reality, Big Tech.
