AI data-center servers will soon consume more electricity than all traditional servers combined. One gigawatt, the power output of a large nuclear reactor, supplies roughly 750,000 homes. The AI industry adds that much power demand every few weeks.

And all the peak demand of a city, about 750,000 homes. So AI industry is asking the growth for the equivalent of a new city every couple of weeks.
