Data Centers, Energy & Iowa: Gas Turbines, Batteries, SMRs, Space Compute, and Agrivoltaics
Hyperscale power demand, on-site gas generation, battery storage and mining tradeoffs, solid-state batteries, small modular reactors, data centers in space, and agrivoltaics. Executive Summary Hyperscale data centers are colliding with power grids faster than new generation can be permitted and built. Iowa is a useful case study because it runs the most wind-heavy grid in
