Is AI the Green Energy Guru We’ve Been Waiting For? (Or Just Another Power-Hungry Tech?)
Artificial Intelligence is shaking up the green energy world — and not just because it uses a lot of power. In 2025, AI is proving to be a powerful tool in optimizing renewable energy, accelerating clean tech innovation, and even helping build a circular economy. But can something so energy-hungry actually help save the planet? Andrea dives into the pros, cons, and surprising opportunities of AI’s role in the sustainability revolution.
“We’re Fighting the Wrong Battle”: Climate Expert Warns Against Overinvestment in AI
“When I see €109 billion going into AI while the National Forest Office—which manages 10% of French territory—only receives €1 billion per year as forests are dying, I can’t help but feel we’re not prioritizing correctly… We’re rushing headlong into something simply because we can do it—while ignoring far more critical challenges.”
Sheep Among Solar Panels: A Surprising Ecological Synergy for the Future
Recent studies highlight the unexpected benefits of agrivoltaism—the practice of integrating sheep grazing with solar farms. Research conducted in Australia and France reveals improvements in livestock health, wool quality, and biodiversity under solar panels. By providing shade, reducing parasite loads, and enhancing vegetation quality, agrivoltaic systems offer a sustainable, climate-resilient agricultural model for the future.
