OpenAI looks across US for sites to build its Trump-backed Stargate AI data centres
The HinduOpenAI is scouring the U.S. for sites to build a network of huge data centres to power its artificial intelligence technology, expanding beyond a flagship Texas location and looking across 16 states to accelerate the Stargate project championed by President Donald Trump. After Trump's announcement, a number of states reached out to OpenAI about welcoming additional data centres, Chris Lehane, OpenAI's vice president of global affairs, told reporters Thursday. OpenAI's proposal makes no mention of whether it intends to prioritize renewable energy sources such as wind or solar to power the data centres. “West Texas really fits that mold where it's one of the most consistently windy and sunny places in the United States.” Lochmiller said he expects the Trump administration, despite the president's opposition to wind farms, to be pragmatic in supporting wind-powered data centres when it is “actually the cheapest way to access energy."
