Bill McKIbben on diversification of clean energy strategies
"consider this quietly brilliant new proposal, from the folks at Rewiring America, which would leverage the need of data center hyperscalers for more power to fundamentally reshape America’s (or, really, any country’s) energy landscape. It does this by asking not the obvious question (what new power supply can I build?) but with a subtler query: where in this system is there power to be found"
