What's your climate policy question?
By shifting workloads to different times of the day, data centers can lower energy costs–but what about emissions?
MIT researchers have found that stronger interregional transmission improves reliability, lowers costs, and supports decarbonization.
Ideas Made to Matter
Can AI’s climate benefits outweigh its costs?
The rising energy demands of AI and data centers threaten corporate net zero commitments and worsen climate change. But can AI also help develop climate solutions? MIT Sloan researchers investigate.
