Why Do Experts Favor Solar and Wind as Renewable Energies Despite their Intermittency?
Abstract—As humanity’s shift to renewable energy generation accelerates, people who are not experts in renewable energy are learning about energy technologies and the energy market, which are complex. The answers to some questions will be obvious to expert practitioners but not to non-experts. One such question is Why solar and wind generation are expected to supply the bulk of future energy when they are intermittent. We learn here that once the baseline hurdles of scalability to utility scale and the underlying resources being widely available globally are satisfied, the forecasted cost of solar and wind is 2-4X lower than competing technologies, even those that are not as scalable and available. The market views intermittency as surmountable.
How Reliable and Cheap “Offgrid AI” Power Enabled Explosive Data Center Growth
Abstract: A newspaper-like article from the future describes how “offgrid-AI”, the combination of utility-scale solar generation and batteries with an element of natural-gas generation near-term to power colocated AI data centers, overcame organizational and technical obstacles to become the de facto method for powering data centers by 2029.
