U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm advocates for small modular reactors SMRs to power AI data centers and meet the increasing energy demands of a digital and electrified future.
In an appearance on CNBC Tuesday morning, U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm sure seemed to acknowledge that small modular reactors - one technology we have claimed will be the future of powering AI - are all but a full on 'go' for the future. Granholm was asked about how data centers would be powered in the future. David Faber asked 'At the same time, we’ve been trying to, obviously, replace typical energy sources with renewables.
How is it going to mix out, given our power needs could be 20% higher than right now in a handful of years' Granholm responded 'The estimates are 15% higher within ten years as a result of both AI, as well as all this new manufacturing activity, and electrifying the transportation sector.' She continued 'We are going to need more power. I’m telling you, we are adding that power. We’re adding record amounts of clean power.
