Sam Altman - We are going to need to build more…

Written By David Moody

OpenAI's Sam Altman recently said, “We’re going to need to build more compute.”
More compute → more data centres → more energy. And in 2025, that means more clean energy.

Australia can lead here because we have:

Abundant solar, wind & hydro to power AI sustainably
Space & infrastructure ready for investment
A workforce we can skill up fast

But we need:

Faster planning & grid connections
More renewable generation & storage
Targeted training for the clean energy + compute economy

At the Australian Renewables Academy, we’re ready to help build that workforce. The AI boom is also a clean energy boom — let’s seize it.
