Imfuno yobukrelekrele bokwenziwa iyaqhubeka nokukhula, kwaye iinkampani zobuchwepheshe zinomdla ngakumbi kumandla enyukliya kunye namandla obushushu bomhlaba.
Njengoko urhwebo lwe-AI lusanda, iingxelo zamva nje zeendaba zibonisa ukunyuka kwemfuno yamandla evela kwiinkampani eziphambili ze-cloud computing: i-Amazon, i-Google, kunye ne-Microsoft. Ngenjongo yokufezekisa iinjongo zokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni, ezi nkampani zijika ziye kwimithombo yamandla acocekileyo, kuquka amandla enyukliya kunye namandla obushushu, ukuze zihlole iindlela ezintsha.
Ngokutsho kwe-International Energy Agency, amaziko edatha kunye neenethiwekhi zawo ezinxulumene nawo ngoku asebenzisa malunga ne-2%-3% yombane wehlabathi. Uqikelelo oluvela kwiBoston Consulting Group lubonisa ukuba le mfuno ingaphindaphindeka kathathu ngo-2030, iqhutywa ziimfuno ezinkulu zokubala ze-AI yokuvelisa.
Nangona aba bathathu bebekhe batyale imali kwiiprojekthi ezininzi zelanga nezomoya ukuze banike amandla amaziko abo edatha akhulayo, indlela ezihlala zihleli ngayo ezi mithombo zamandla ibangela imingeni ekuqinisekiseni ukuba kukho umbane ohlala ukho imini nobusuku. Ngenxa yoko, bafuna ngamandla ezinye iindlela ezintsha zamandla avuselelekayo, angenakhabhoni.
Kwiveki ephelileyo, iMicrosoft kunye neGoogle babhengeze intsebenziswano yokuthenga umbane oveliswa ngamandla obushushu, ihydrogen, indawo yokugcina iibhetri kunye namandla enyukliya. Bakwasebenzisana nomenzi wentsimbi uNucor ukuchonga iiprojekthi abanokuzithenga xa sele zisebenza.
Amandla obushushu obuphantsi komhlaba okwangoku ayinxalenye encinci yomxube wombane waseMelika, kodwa kulindeleke ukuba anike i-120 gigawatts yokuveliswa kombane ngo-2050. Ngenxa yesidingo sobukrelekrele bokwenziwa, ukuchonga izixhobo zobushushu obuphantsi komhlaba kunye nokuphucula ukumba ukuhlola kuya kusebenza ngakumbi.
Ukuhlanganiswa kwenyukliya kuthathwa njengobuchwepheshe obukhuselekileyo nobucocekileyo kunamandla enyukliya emveli. I-Google ityale imali kwi-TAE Technologies, kwaye iMicrosoft ikwaceba ukuthenga umbane oveliswa yi-Helion Energy, inkampani esungula i-nuclear fusion ngo-2028.
UMaud Texler, intloko yamandla acocekileyo kunye nokususwa kwekhabhoni kwiGoogle, uqaphele oku:
Ukwandisa ubuchwepheshe obuphucukileyo obucocekileyo kufuna utyalo-mali olukhulu, kodwa izinto ezintsha kunye nomngcipheko zihlala zenza kube nzima kwiiprojekthi ezikwinqanaba lokuqala ukufumana inkxaso-mali eziyidingayo. Ukuhlanganisa iimfuno ezivela kubathengi abaninzi abakhulu bamandla acocekileyo kunokunceda ekudaleni utyalo-mali kunye nezakhiwo zorhwebo ezifunekayo ukuzisa ezi projekthi kwinqanaba elilandelayo.
Ukongeza, abanye abahlalutyi babonise ukuba ukuze kuxhaswe ukunyuka kwemfuno yamandla, iinkampani ezinkulu zobuchwepheshe ekugqibeleni kuya kufuneka zithembele ngakumbi kwimithombo yamandla engavuselelekiyo efana negesi yendalo kunye namalahle ukuze kuveliswe umbane.
