Hamm Institute for American Energy

AI infrastructure is not just a power story. It is a people story. Our new workforce analysis, from Hamm Institute Distinguished Fellow Shon R. Hiatt and Angela Ryu (USC), examines the U.S. hyperscale and colocation buildout through 2030. Under the standard scenario, it will support about 110,000 operations and supply-chain workers by 2030. The workforce challenge is real, and one we plan to help solve. Read the full study here: https://lnkd.in/gZu5p33c #Energy #AI #DataCenters #Workforce #Infrastructure

We opened the Energy Freedom Tour with real momentum earlier this week. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright and former Secretary of Energy Ernest J. Moniz set the tone with a focused fireside conversation on the road ahead. We also heard from a Future of Energy Workforce CEO panel with Sec. Wright, Bob Mumgaard (Commonwealth Fusion Systems), Milo Werner (DCVC), and Carlos Araque (Quaise Energy). Big thanks to Roger Martella and GE Vernova for their partnership and for pushing the workforce conversation forward. This kickoff was just the start. If your organization is building teams for the next decade of energy, let's work together to grow the talent pipeline that will power America's future.

We need more affordable, reliable, and secure American energy and it’s time to unleash it. As U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright says- join us in energy! ⚡

Energy forecasts help shape investment decisions years before the energy is ultimately needed. In a new article for The Conversation, Hamm Institute Fellow John Schoeneman looks at how oil forecasts are developed, what drives prices and how expectations of future supply influence investment decisions today. His analysis underscores the importance of continued investment in America’s energy resources. Strong domestic production and abundant energy provide greater flexibility when global markets are disrupted. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eENH_j45

Critical minerals are increasingly important to American energy, technology and AI infrastructure. But unlike oil or natural gas, it can be difficult to get a clear picture of what is happening across these markets. New research from Hamm Institute Distinguished Fellow Brad Ewing introduces an index that tracks prices across 16 critical minerals. By looking at how prices move together and respond to economic and supply chain conditions, the research offers policymakers and industry a new way to understand changing market conditions and potential supply risks.
