The world is at a turning point where technology, climate, and energy demands collide — and Gen-Z must lead the response. Data centers already account for 4.4% of U.S. electricity use and could triple by 2028. Meeting this challenge requires bold investment in clean, efficient solutions, from nuclear to geothermal. ZETA is driving conversations that unite tech innovation, energy policy, and environmental stewardship, ensuring Gen-Z has a voice in shaping a sustainable future.
