Challenges in Achieving Clean Energy Goals Due to Data Centers

Data centers are impacting the ability of states to achieve their clean energy goals, as renewable energy's share in the power grid is not increasing at the necessary pace. Industry experts indicate that there are significant backlogs in gas turbine orders and that the processing of renewable energy projects is time-consuming. This situation could hinder overall progress in transitioning to a more sustainable energy infrastructure, increasing the urgency for policy adjustments and technological advancements.
