美企聯手建數據中心,力攻AI能源需求

Chevron、Engine No. 1 與 GE Vernova 聯手推動美國數據中心的能源供應,聚焦於人工智能

能源公司Chevron正與Engine No. 1及GE Vernova合作,在美國建立天然氣發電廠,這些發電廠將與數據中心相連,以支持這些中心對電力的日益增長需求,尤其是在人工智能的發展方面。

這個合資企業計劃建造一個多吉瓦規模的共置發電廠和數據中心。

此消息發布之際,中國科技初創公司DeepSeek的新人工智能聊天機器人引發了關於中國與美國在人工智能發展競爭的討論,許多用戶紛紛前來測試這個與OpenAI的ChatGPT相對抗的產品。

DeepSeek的AI助手推出後,華爾街多家科技巨頭的股價大跌,部份能源公司的股票也受到影響。觀察人士急切想看這家中國公司是否能以更低的成本與美國的領先AI公司匹敵。

上週,特朗普總統簽署了一項關於人工智能的行政命令,該命令將撤銷過去政府的政策,這些政策被指稱為「阻礙美國人工智能創新」。他還提到了一個新的合作夥伴關係,將投資高達5000億美元,專注於與人工智能相關的基礎設施。

根據白宮的說法,新成立的實體Stargate將開始在德克薩斯州建立數據中心和所需的電力生產,以促進快速發展的人工智能。初步投資預計為1000億美元,並有可能達到五倍的金額。

Chevron、Engine No. 1和GE Vernova於週二表示,他們的首個項目被稱為「電力鑄造廠」,預計將利用七台美國製造的GE Vernova 7HA天然氣渦輪發電機。這些項目預計將為位於美國東南部、中西部和西部的共置數據中心提供服務,具體地點尚未確定。

這些公司表示,電力生產最初並不會通過現有的傳輸網絡,從而降低對消費者電價上漲的風險。

這一聯合開發計劃計劃提供最高四吉瓦的電力,相當於為300萬至350萬個美國家庭供電,初步服務預計在2027年底前啟用,並有可能在此之後擴展項目。

「能源是美國在人工智能領域主導地位的關鍵。通過利用豐富的國內天然氣直接為數據中心發電,我們可以確保在人工智能領域的領導地位,推動我們經濟的生產力增長,並恢復美國作為工業超級大國的地位。」Engine No. 1的創始人及首席投資官Chris James在一份聲明中表示。「這一與Chevron和GE Vernova的合作夥伴關係解決了我們面臨的最大能源挑戰。」

這一合作不僅展示了大型能源公司與科技企業之間的聯盟,也反映出當前人工智能技術對能源需求的影響。隨著人工智能的快速發展,數據中心的能源需求將不斷上升,而這樣的合作模式或許將成為未來能源供應的常態。這一策略也有可能為美國在全球人工智能競爭中贏得優勢,特別是在與中國的競爭中,如何有效利用本土資源以降低成本,將成為關鍵。

A close-up of a young man (as in the uploaded image) Dominates the right side of the frame, viewed from a low-angle perspective, giving him a powerful and imposing presence. He is wearing a simple white tank top (muscle shirt) and tan or light-yellow cargo shorts. He is holding a wooden baseball bat slung over his right shoulder. His expression is serious and determined.

JustinE the Rottweiler: Located on the left, chained to man. JustinE is in an aggressive stance, mouth wide open in a fierce snarl or bark, showing his teeth and tongue, with saliva visible. He is wearing a thick, heavy silver chain leash and collar, with a small circular dog tag visible that says "JustinE". The dog is large and muscular, facing the viewer.

Leash: A heavy-gauge silver metal chain connects JustinE's collar to man's hand.

Lighting: Strong, harsh daylight typical of Southern California, creating deep shadows and high contrast, enhancing the dramatic feel.

Background/Setting: A Southern San Andreas (Los Santos) street setting. The background is slightly blurred but suggests a hot, dry, urban environment with power lines/telegraph wires and a glimpse of an older vehicle (possibly a green van) in the lower-left corner. The sky is a bright, clear, light yellow-green color, indicative of a hot day.

hard shadows, and a distinct color palette typical of GTA loading screens and cover.

Highly detailed and rendered. Vibrant, cinematic. Use the original face exactly as it is, without changing a details. A stunning, very fit female model with a sun-kissed, glowing tan (hyper-realistic, high-sheen skin texture).
• Attire: A strapless, high-waisted one-piece swimsuit (or very closely cut two-piece) in a dark navy or black color with prominent white polka dots. The suit has a cutout design around the midriff and a knotted/bow detail at the bust.

    "prompt": "Ultra-realistic portrait of a man walking toward the camera on an airport runway at night He wears a white long-sleeve shirt with sleeves rolled up and dress pants, shoes. The camera is very close, capturing his face sharply - textures of skin, smoke from his lips, and subtle reflections of firelight in his eyes. Behind him, slightly out of focus, a commercial airplane is burning intensely, with huge flames, roaring firestorms, and thick black smoke rising high. The fiery glow casts dramatic orange highlights on his shirt and face, creating deep shadows and a gritty, cinematic mood. Wet runway reflects the blaze, enhancing the dramatic atmosphere.",
