Natural Gas: Powering America’s AI Revolution
Just look at the numbers. U.S. data centers used 176 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in 2023, triple what they consumed less than a decade earlier. By 2030, we’re talking about 400–500 TWh every year, enough to power 20 to 30 million homes. That’s not a blip on the chart. That’s a new industrial revolution. So what fuels this surge? Natural gas.
