Two companies, Crusoe and Redwood, are teaming up to build a data center that runs on used batteries—essentially giving old batteries a second life. This isn't just a small experiment; it’s the largest project of its kind, showing how desperate cloud companies are getting to secure reliable (and sustainable) power sources.

Editor’s Note: Data centers guzzle energy, and with AI and cloud computing booming, the demand is only growing. This partnership highlights a clever workaround—repurposing batteries that would otherwise go to waste. It’s a win for both the environment and the tech industry’s bottom line, proving that green solutions can also be practical. Plus, it could set a trend for other companies scrambling to cut emissions without sacrificing performance.
