Artificial intelligence may feel invisible — but its power bill is very real.

In this episode of Circus and Circuit: Unraveling Global Trade, host Kate Foronda explores how AI’s explosive growth is putting pressure on the world’s power grids, energy markets, and environmental ambitions. From data center alley in Virginia to solar cities in Saudi Arabia, we trace the global electricity footprint of algorithms and automation.

You’ll learn:

  • Why data centers could consume up to 4% of global electricity by 2030
  • How U.S. communities are pushing back on Big Tech’s energy demands
  • Why Europe’s Green AI goals clash with infrastructure limits
  • How China, India, and the Gulf states are building energy-intensive AI empires
  • And whether AI itself can help solve the crisis it’s helping to create

Is AI optimizing the world — or draining it?

Tune in for a global deep dive at the intersection of innovation, infrastructure, and intelligent machines.
