Climate and Energy, reading how heat waves, power, and data centers reshape daily life and costs
We read, with data, how climate and energy affect daily life and costs, from heat waves and extreme weather to power demand and prices and the strain data centers put on the grid. We explain trends in the climate and energy transition in an easy-to-understand way, including El Niño and marine heat, record heat waves and their health risks, and how AI data center power demand pressures electricity prices and carbon targets.
