AI's Power Demand Driving Growth for Natural Gas and Pipeline Infrastructure
-
Artificial intelligence (AI) will require massive amounts of computing power and electricity, with estimates that data centers alone will consume 10% of global electricity by 2030.
-
Renewable energy won't be able to meet all of AI's electricity demands due to intermittency issues, so steady natural gas power will also be crucial.
-
Natural gas is cleaner and more reliable than alternatives like coal for supporting growing power demand from AI and other sources.
-
Pipeline companies like Kinder Morgan and Williams are positioned to benefit from rising natural gas demand, by transporting more gas to power plants.
-
These pipeline giants pay high dividend yields above 5%, offering investors exposure to surging gas infrastructure demand driven by AI's power needs.
