Jonathan Koomey—renowned researcher and the mind behind Koomey’s Law—joins to explore how AI is testing the limits of power infrastructure and computing efficiency. We dig into the history of data center energy use, the real implications of synthetic data, and why renewables—not nuclear—may be the only scalable path forward. Koomey offers a candid look at the rebound effect, cost allocation in the grid, and why assuming infinite AI demand is a dangerous bet. If you care about the future of energy in the age of AI, this one’s for you.
