AI makes people want more natural gas. This fuel was going to be used less. Now, big energy companies think we will use more. This is because AI needs lots of electricity.
AI uses big computer places. These places need much power. Natural gas power plants can start fast. They make less dirty gas than coal. So, they help meet this new need.
Shell thinks natural gas use will grow. This will happen until the 2040s. More money is going into natural gas. Chevron is making more gas in Israel.
More places are built for gas trade. Experts say more gas will be sent out soon. This will help the world. AI's power need is a big reason.
But more gas has problems. The world is not always stable. People still talk about gas's future. It is seen as a fuel for now. AI needs power. But we must choose gas's future.
