Chinese Grid Operators Resist Plans To Boost Renewables To Power AI
Authored by Charles Kennedy via OilPrice.com,
Grid operators are concerned that the Chinese drive to hike the share of renewable electricity powering AI would raise the risks for power firms as peak demand at data centers is difficult to forecast.
Industry analysts and officials have told Reuters that the Chinese strategic priority of having renewables power the majority of electricity demand at data centers by 2030 may not be feasible.
“From what we understand, they (data centers) cannot really adjust power consumption load much,” Reuters quoted Pei Shanpeng, a director of Chinese power firm State Power Investment Corporation, as telling attendees at a recent industry conference in Beijing.
“GPUs are very expensive, so once they are purchased, operators want to use them as quickly and as intensively as possible,” the official added.
China plans to use massively its renewable energy boom to power the data centers.

US Company Gets Approval To Build The World's First Fusion Power Plant In Washington
Authored by Ameya Paleja via Interesting Engineering,
US-based fusion energy company Helion has received the regulatory clearances to build the world's first fusion energy power plant. The company has received a Radioactive Materials License (RML) and a Radioactive Air Emissions License (RAEL) from the Washington Department of Health (DOH), clearing the way to begin construction of the generator building at the power plant site.

As the world looks for newer ways to meet it energy demands without emitting carbon, fusion energy seems to be the most likely option. Using the chemical reaction that occurs on the Sun, fusion energy can potentially generate large amounts of energy from simpler atoms like hydrogen and its isotopes.
Unlike its counterpart, nuclear fission, fusion energy does not produce large amounts of radioacti...
