AI is forcing a seismic shift in our energy landscape. News that China’s DeepSeek AI operates with up to 40 times less power than American competitors has already rattled markets and put its American counterparts on the defensive.  Why? Currently, data centers devour 3% of US electricity—with projections showing this could more than double to 8% by 2030, driven mainly by AI power needs. As tech giants pledge to triple nuclear capacity and researchers explore innovative energy solutions, fundamental questions arise about balancing technological progress with infrastructure realities.



Join us for a conversation with Braham Singh, a pioneer in data center development focusing on sustainable digital infrastructure and Executive Chairman of Verdana.io.



Hosted by: Alexa Raad and Leslie Daigle.
