In current practice, Artificial Intelligence and Crypto Mining algorithms are very power hungry. We just turned on two new reactors at Plant Vogle and 1 Plant Vogle Reactor (1.2 MW) can serve 1.2 million households OR about 6 Data Centers. As our power bills keep rising, and average humans look for ways to lower their energy consumption, will Crypto and AI gobble-up the gains we are making? Fortunately, researchers are working on new, energy-efficient algorithms.

Science for Georgia was quoted in this news story about the negative impacts of a biomass plant on both consumer's wallets (Georgia Power rates have increased about $45 dollars, per month, in the past year) and on the environment.

Energy burden affects Black households disproportionally. Science for Georgia, Sierra Club, and GA WAND hosted a forum to discuss the impacts on communities and the actions they can take.
