Casey Handmer, Matt Weickert Originally posted at the Terraform Blog . This post explains our current views on how humanity will achieve Kardashev Level 1 status by exploiting the full energy resources of an entire planet. More specifically, how pure solar+batteries will power AI scaleup beyond gas turbine manufacturing limits. [Edit: Thank you for the nice write up , Ana!] It is an extension to my earlier post of March 2024 on using solar to power AI datacenters, and a response of sorts to the Scale Microgrids paper that showed a mix of solar and gas could reduce emissions for the developers
