If you’re involved in #energy, there is simply no better place to be than in Houston for #CERAWeek. It’s my third year here at the “Super Bowl of Energy” and I’m proud to join my ONEOK colleagues for a week of rich conversations and learnings around a topic that touches so many aspects of our lives. Like last year, a key focus of the CERAWeek 2025 conversation is #AI. But unlike the conversation in 2024 – which centered around AI for energy – there’s been a noticeable shift to energy FOR AI. Natural gas plays a vital role in powering artificial intelligence data centers, which are expected to increase natural gas demand by 1-3 Tcf per year. The focus on speed to market will also guide the need for siting these data centers near existing pipeline infrastructure, as well as the design of the behind-the-meter solutions necessary to power the AI era. I also had the pleasure of sitting down with Bloomberg Television’s Alix Steel yesterday to talk a bit about our progress and the opportunities and challenges for our industry. At ONEOK, we have a slogan: “we don’t pick sides, we pick issues.” The issue we all need to focus on is getting energy as quick as we can to market – and building the infrastructure and integrated systems to support it. I believe ONEOK is the best growth story in the U.S. – a story that is still being written by our 6,000 employees who work in safe, reliable and environmentally responsible ways each day. I’m proud of what they are doing and what they will accomplish in the future to deliver the energy we will need to meet these growing demands.
