Episode Synopsis

How do you build data centers that can meet AI-scale demand without letting energy use and climate impact spiral? In this episode, Peter Michelson, CEO at EcoDataCenter, explores solutions like reusing excess heat and timber-built data centers, and the role of permits, policy, and speed in scaling. It’s an honest look at AI’s surging energy needs and why Sweden could lose its edge if momentum doesn’t accelerate. Peter also shares what leaders should do now to embrace change, build strong ecosystems, and future-proof their businesses.
