The fossil fuel comeback is here.

The Verge AIIndependent reporting·
AI brief

The US is building more fossil fuel infrastructure than at any point in the past decade while renewable energy growth is slowing, according to a new report. Electricity demand is rising faster than in more than a decade, driven in part by more data centers and factories.

Why it matters: Rising power demand from data centers is occurring as the US adds more fossil fuel capacity and renewable growth slows.
