The Electric Bill of Intelligence: Energy and AI

It’s been almost two months since my last post on Medium. During that time, four new episodes of my podcast “Circus and Circuit: Unraveling Global Trade”, were released.

I also took a pause to recharge and get ready for a new year, which, for me, always starts in September.

In the meantime, tensions around energy and AI have continued to rise, and I couldn’t stay away. I’ve recorded a new episode on this hot topic after speaking with many companies in the industry and seeing firsthand what’s happening , and how fast, not just in the U.S., but around the world.

We often think of AI as something abstract, floating in the cloud. But behind every chatbot, smart search, or automated decision is a real electricity bill. And it’s growing fast.

In this episode, I take you on a global tour of:
🔌 How data centers are reshaping U.S. and EU energy policy.
🏙️ The rise of AI-powered cities in China and the Middle East.
🌍 The looming power crisis no one’s talking about — and whether AI can fix it.

If you’re in tech, trade, energy, or just curious where all this digital transformation is heading, I hope you’ll give it a listen.
