Join host Chris Filly as he breaks down AI's exponential energy demand and how it's testing the physical and political limits of America's energy system.

Covering the crisis that will define the decade — the collision between artificial intelligence and America's energy infrastructure

America is adding the most energy-intensive technology in human history to a grid that was already running out of room. AI vs. Energy is a podcast about that collision — and about the people, technologies, and compacts that will determine whether America builds fast enough to keep the lights on and remain a leader in the AI race.

Each episode explores a different dimension of the crisis: the exponential demand from hyperscale data centers, the decade-long permitting timelines for new transmission, the regulatory frameworks that make building in America difficult, and all the ways the public and private sectors are working to solve this crisis in real time.
