IT之家 2 月 6 日消息，科技媒体 Wccftech 昨日（2 月 5 日）发布博文，报道称特斯拉首席执行官埃隆 · 马斯克（Elon Musk）断言，由于地球能源供应无法 满足 AI 基础设施的爆发式增长，未来 30 至 36 个月内，最具经济效益的 AI 部署地点将转向太空。 马斯克认为，虽然目前制约 AI 发展的因素看似是芯片，但在实现太空部署前，真正的"拦路虎"其实是电力。一旦数据中心升空，利用无限的太阳能解决了 能源问题，制约因素将再次回落到芯片产能上。 马斯克通过数据对比揭示了地球能源的局限性。目前美国全国的平均电力消耗仅为 0.5 太瓦（Terawatt），而按照 AI 基础设施的建设速度，未来可能需要高 达 1 太瓦的电力，相当于现有消耗量的两倍。 国际能源署（IEA）的数据也佐证了这一危机：未来四年内，仅数据中心的电力消耗就将增长 15%；到 2030 年，数据中心可能占据美国总发电量的 12%。 马斯克指出，在地面建设如此规模的电厂和数据中心已不具备可行性。 IT之家援引博文介绍，在马斯克构想的蓝图中，虽然太空能解决能源危机，但供应链危机依然存在。他指出，即便利用星舰（Starship ...
