Part 4/10:
To contextualize the scale, Grock, an industry expert, estimated that about 8 billion solar panels—covering roughly 19% of Texas' land area—would be needed to generate 1 terawatt of power in just that region. An even more astonishing comparison comes from the energy demands of AI, exemplified by the XAI Colossus Supercomputer in Memphis, which consumes 300 megawatts. A terawatt represents over 3,300 times this power, illustrating the exponential growth in AI's energy requirements.
