The Millisecond Menace
The 800-volt DC data center promises faster, leaner AI infrastructure. But synchronized GPU power swings are turning electrical design into a millisecond-scale control problem.
FERC Meets the Shadow Grid: Deciding when Private Power becomes a Public Grid Problem
AI data centers are pushing FERC to confront the Shadow Grid, where private power, co-located generation, and hyperscale load blur into public grid obligations, forcing a shift from queue chaos to coordinated infrastructure governance.

The Prompt Box Is Part of the Energy System: Why Sustainable AI Is Not Just a Data Center Problem
AI’s environmental impact depends not only on data centers, chips, and power supply, but on how people use it. Sustainable AI requires purposeful prompting, right-sized models, less low-value output, and better “demand architecture” for computation.
