All low emission power options, including nuclear, must be on the table to capture that the president of a data center company sees as a data storage opportunity captured by AI for AI for AI.

Craig Scrogie, Chairman of the Nextdc Executive Officer, said that artificial intelligence and cloud information has increased great demand for data centers and that Australia is well placed as a regional heavy weight if it can solve the “energy trilemma”.

In the Australian Energy Ulus Forum, “We need clean power, we need solid power, we need cheap power,” he said.

“We must solve the energy trio for the development of a modern economy.”

The electrical density of the deployment of training and AI models has been well documented and the country’s independent climatic organ has been marked by a challenge by the climate change authority. recommendation New emission reduction objectives to the federal government.

Bloomberg modeling can make more than 10 percent of Australia’s use of electricity by 2035.

Mr. Scroggie believes that Australia has land and renewable resources to follow a larger data center industry, and it must keep the door open to all things to strengthen their climate targets, including nuclear energy.

He referred to the major technology companies in pursuit of nuclear energy, including an agreement signed by Microsoft to restart the Three Mile Island factory in Pennsylvania, and said, ım I look at my customer to give me advice, ”he said.

Nuclear power energy has been banned in Australia since the late 1990s.

The Federal Opposition made a plan to build seven plants for the last election and lost to labor with a convincing defeat.

Federal Industry Minister Tim Ayres represented the government in the forum and exhibited industrial cleaning plans under the recent national targets to reduce emissions by 62-70 percent by 2035.

“Industrial products such as iron and steel using Australian energy in Australia provide emission reduction for our industrial partners,” he said on Wednesday.

“This is an unmissable Australian opportunity.”

Senator Ayres would not withdraw on the future of power prices for businesses and household peoples under a grill dominated by renewable energy sources.

“What the government has done here is important for the form of the market in the future and we have lived 30 years back and forward,” he said.

Shadow Treasurer Ted O’Brien, previously the opposition’s energy and climate spokesman, 2035 climatic targets aimed to support the economic modeling.

He said the federal government did not weigh the costs of taking action to reduce emissions against the economic burden of floods, fires and uncontrolled climate change.

“Either the Labor Party did it or they did it, and they were so bad that they wouldn’t show the people of Australia.”

The opposition remains in internal turmoil in climate policy and some members forced them to completely exit net from the net.
