After 20 years exploring for and producing energy, nothing has impressed me as much as ITAIPU. As a young geologist I was fortunate to be awarded a Thomas J Watson Fellowship, which enabled me to travel the world studying the energy resources and systems of many countries. I have subsequently spent my career as an operator, explorer and student of energy - from geothermal in Iceland to coal in China to solar in Spain to wind in Argentina to oil and gas in Texas, I’ve seen a lot of different energy systems up close. The scale, history and potential of ITAIPU is singularly compelling. This is why the @CrusoeAI team is excited to partner in Paraguay to add value to this amazing energy resource through AI infrastructure development. A shared vision of investment, employment, technology, innovation, clean power and community benefit make this project extremely exciting and I look forward to realizing this vision together with our local partners.
