In the field of artificial intelligence, OpenAI and Oracle recently announced a major collaboration, committing to invest in the 'Stargate' initiative, aiming to establish more data centers in the United States. This partnership is intended to meet the growing demand for computing power and to accelerate the development of AI technology. According to insiders, OpenAI will rent a large amount of computing power from Oracle's data centers, with an estimated use of about 4.5 gigawatts of electricity. The energy consumption of this data center is so large that it could power millions of American households.

Google's latest sustainability report reveals a startling fact: within just four years, the company's data center power consumption more than doubled, rising from 14.4 million megawatt-hours in 2020 to 30.8 million megawatt-hours in 2024. If the timeline is extended to ten years, compared to an estimated 4 million megawatt-hours in 2014, Google's data center power consumption has increased sevenfold. Growing electricity demand: data centers are major energy consumers, efficiency improvements face bottlenecks. Data shows that Google's power issues are almost entirely concentrated in data centers.
