EU's AI Energy Has Two Clocks: Grid Flexibility Now, Fusion Later
ingliguori · x · 2026-10-31
Analyst ingliguori breaks down Europe's response to AI's power bottleneck, which he frames as AI's new constraint, along two timelines:
- Flexible response: modular, on-site, grid-flexible supply to keep data centers running now
- Frontier R&D: fusion plus AI-for-science for the longer term
He stresses fusion remains R&D, not commercial capacity — Europe must manage both clocks at once.
