Big Tech Is Funding Space Solar And Fusion While Running On Gas
Authored by Haley Zaremba via OilPrice.com,
Meta signed a deal with startup Overview Energy to develop up to 1 gigawatt of space-based solar power, though a pilot satellite won't launch until 2028 at the earliest -- and commercial viability remains years away.
Despite clean energy ambitions, Big Tech is still heavily dependent on natural gas: Meta is funding 10 new gas plants for its Louisiana data center campus, and Google is building a major gas facility in North Texas.
Google admitted its carbon emissions rose 48% in five years and has conceded its 2030 net-zero target may be out of reach as AI energy demand continues to accelerate.
The AI boom has unleashed an energy monster unlike anything the world has ever seen before. No one is exactly sure how much energy the AI sector will require in the coming years as large language models continue to advance and expand. In fact, we don't even really know how much energ...

Private capital has poured more than $1.5 billion into next-gen geothermal since 2021, and companies like Ormat and Sage Geosystems are partnering to bring commercial projects online by 2027.

Strommarkt am 1. Mai 2026 – viel Photovoltaik, Feiertagslast, extreme Preisausschläge (Tichys Einblick)
|
|
|
„Energiewende“ pervers: Der gestrige Feiertag zeigte Strom im Überfluss – und ein System am Anschlag. Am 1. Mai laufen Fabriken nur eingeschränkt, viele Büros sind geschlossen, die industrielle Last ist niedrig. Gleichzeitig scheint die Sonne kräftig auf ein Land, das in den vergangenen Jahren Photovoltaik wie von Sinnen ausgebaut hat, als könne man damit Physik,
