Our need for reliable, clean power is greater than ever. From electric cars to the massive data centers training the next generation of AI, the demand for electricity is reaching a breaking point. Our aging power grid wasn't built for this digital surge or for the shift to clean energy. To prevent an energy deadlock, we must transform our old wires into a smart network that can manage power spikes in real time. But how can we upgrade our physical infrastructure to meet the needs of our software? And how will we balance the needs of energy-hungry datacenters, for AI and more, with the need for a stable, green future?
