Texas AI Project Taps Solar for Power

Big AI needs big energy, and the $100 billion Stargate venture—backed by OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank—is turning to solar. While Trump champions fossil fuels, parts of this AI-powered future will run on renewables. SoftBank’s SB Energy is expected to supply solar and battery storage, keeping costs low and power clean. A major win for clean energy and tech!
