Can Data Centers Run on Renewable Energy?

For the next four years the amount of electricity needed to power new data centers will double. The growing AI boom will need twice the amount of electricity than is available today to run their data. Tapping into renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and hydro could see companies lessen their reliance on fossil fuels, the fuels that produce greenhouse gas emissions with deleterious climate change impacts.

Smoky skies are becoming a familiar sight in New York City. As climate change fuels hotter, drier conditions, wildfires are growing more frequent and intense, sending smoke hundreds of miles and impacting the air millions of people breathe. Experts warn this may become the new normal unless we address the root causes of climate change.

What happens when heat waves, wildfires, smoke, and floods strike at the same time?

As this summer has shown, climate impacts don’t happen in isolation. Scientists call these compounding disasters, overlapping extreme weather events that put added strain on people, communities, emergency responders, and infrastructure.

Understanding how these events connect is an important step toward building resilience in a changing climate.
