Microsoft just revised their power deficit forecast upward to 47 gigawatts. To put that in perspective? That's equivalent to adding one full-scale nuclear reactor to the grid every single week.
The scale here is staggering. We're watching a tech giant essentially admit they're racing ahead of infrastructure capacity. This isn't just about flipping switches—it's about the raw energy demands of next-gen computing, whether that's AI training clusters or decentralized networks.
When major players start talking in nuclear-plant-sized units, you know the energy equation for digital infrastructure is hitting a breaking point. The gap between innovation velocity and power grid reality keeps widening.

Energy consumption forecasting is frightening.

The energy consumption demand is a bit frightening.
