We can now build the one-person $1B power development company. By leveraging AI and robotics we are seeing the emergence of "A flywheel of compounding infrastructure buildout... data centers that can build other data centers." (Sam Altman)

The rise of AI datacenters risks driving rapid emissions growth if not powered by clean energy. In a new report, we (Scale Microgrids, Paces, and Stripe) provide a detailed analysis of one promising solution: off-grid solar and storage. offgridai.us/

Psyched to share something @stripe, @ScaleMicrogrids, and @paces_ai have been cooking for the past few months. A massive wave of new energy demand has been unleashed by AI. How will we power it? We think gigantic off-grid solar microgrids offer a very compelling solution.

Off-grid solar microgrids have been conspicuously absent from most hyperscalers’ plans, which is surprising given their ability to achieve enormous scale very fast. We wrote a piece on how off-grid solar can power the AI race:

Paces is hiring two founding software engineers! If you’re a builder who wants to actively construct a more climate positive future, join us! DMs open😃 #climate paces.com/careers
Good luck to all the S22 @ycombinator companies heading into Demo Day this week! Special shout out to my friends @james_mcwalter & Charles at Paces (paces.ai/) — I angel invested, bc I believe they’re doing something special to speedlarge green infra deployment!

This is real! Schumer & Manchin cemented a budget bill to cut inflation, energy & health care costs, and invest a reported ~$370B in clean energy. REPEATProject.org is waiting for details but that'll probably cut emissions by >800m & <1b tons in 2030 or to ~40% below 2005

We're excited to announce that we're part of the @ycombinator S22 batch! At @paces_ai we are more green infrastructure to be profitably built, faster and in the right places! paces.ai/yc

It is an absolute scandal that we don’t know the climate optimum use case to that question for every parcel of land in the world. jamesmcwalter.com/post/optim…
