IS A GLOBAL BLACKOUT NEAR?
BILL GATES AND ELON MUSK ANTICIPATE A POWER OUTAGE.
A growing concern is a possible global blackout, with warnings from prominent figures like Bill Gates and Elon Musk. They highlight that the increasing demand for energy, driven particularly by rapid advances in artificial intelligence, is pushing current power grids to their limits. Elon Musk points to an impending global energy crisis as a major factor contributing to this vulnerability.
Bill Gates, for his part, emphasizes the fragility of existing power grids and their susceptibility to weather events. Extreme weather phenomena, such as intense heat waves and severe storms, pose significant threats, potentially causing widespread disruptions.
Both Gates and Musk agree that the overwhelming demand for energy could lead to the collapse of power grids. While a complete global blackout is considered unlikely, the possibility of large-scale regional blackouts across several continents remains a serious concern. However, no precise timeline is specified by Bill Gates or Elon Musk on when this next major power outage could occur.
