Stargate can’t get this natural gas power supply sorted out—no matter how expensive AI supercomputers are, they still have to be lit up first.

CoinWorld News, OpenAI Stargate data center developer faces rising costs due to energy challenges. According to two informed sources and engineers and grid experts briefed on the matter, the process of integrating natural gas power is more difficult and costly than expected. Crusoe is also a data center development partner of Oracle, and the energy issues of this project are putting significant pressure on operating costs. Currently, on a dry prairie in Abilene, Texas, Crusoe's hardware engineers are working overtime to try to coordinate the natural gas turbines with one of the world's most expensive AI supercomputers.
