US President Donald Trump has recently signed an executive order directing federal agencies to explore using coal to power energy-intensive AI data centres, calling it part of a broader effort to revive the struggling coal industry.

The rapid expansion of data centres catering to artificial intelligence (AI) demands is raising concerns about its impact on the U.S. power grid, according to a recent report by Bloomberg.

Google is making a shift toward nuclear energy to power its artificial intelligence (AI) data centres, signing a deal with nuclear tech startup Kairos Power to use small nuclear reactors.
