The energy demands of AI, particularly generative AI and large language models (LLMs), are showing to still be immense. Finding sustainable, scalable power sources isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity.

That’s where superhot rock energy (SHR) comes in. In 2022, Bill Nye age 77 at that time stood at Cornell University’s Borehole Observatory (CUBO), explaining how SHR could revolutionize geothermal energy. Now, Cornell has done it! SHR’s viability to heat their campus sustainably. What makes this monumental isn’t just the technology, it’s the implications for industries like AI.

SHR taps rock heated to over 374°C, unlocking energy that’s clean, constant, and abundant enough to meet global needs 2,000 times over. Unlike traditional geothermal systems tied to tectonic hotspots, SHR works almost anywhere. It’s a renewable solution capable of scaling up to power the AI revolution.

Generative AI requires 24/7 energy, currently pulled from carbon-heavy grids. SHR offers a game-changing alternative with sustainable baseload power at costs rivaling fossil fuels. Imagine training your next AI model not on coal or gas, but on the Earth’s infinite heat.

Cornell’s breakthrough is a blueprint. It shows that with the right investment in technology and collaboration, we can meet the energy needs of AI while reducing environmental impact.

Bill Nye said it best: “𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐰, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞.”

“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲; 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐨.”-𝐃𝐨𝐮𝐠 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐧
