What happens when AI consumes more power than entire countries and the 100-year-old grid can’t keep up?
In this episode of Swift Start Go, Caroline sits down with Sam Goff, founder and CEO of Crucible Energy, to explore:
Why 12,000+ renewable projects (2.5x our grid capacity) are stuck in a 4-10 year queue
How peaker plants create 50% of carbon emissions while delivering only 5% of power
Underground superconducting cables that carry 7x more power than those giant towers
Data centers that generate clean water instead of evaporating it
Why making carbon capture profitable could reverse climate change
It’s infrastructure revolution meets climate hope. Whether you’re worried about your electricity bill, AI’s environmental impact, or just want to understand why the grid is so broken—this one’s for you.
