Jensen Huang $NVDA says the AI energy problem is overblown. “The grid runs ~60% of peak. 99% of the time there’s unused power.” The real opportunity isn’t more energy. It’s smarter data centers. $NBIS is already doing it. In the UK, with National Grid, $NVDA, and Emerald AI, they proved they can cut power usage by up to 40% in under a minute—without impacting critical workloads. Data centers are becoming a grid resource, not a liability. The more I study $NBIS, the more bullish I get.
