Microsoft. OpenAI. NVIDIA. Three CEOs. Independently. Saying the same thing. "My issue today isn't chip supply - it's that I don't have facilities with sufficient power." - Satya Nadella, @Microsoft "If there are no major breakthroughs in energy technology, AI will not reach its next stage." - Sam Altman, @OpenAI "Low energy costs will help China defeat the US in the AI race." - Jensen Huang, @NVIDIA The three most important people in AI are all pointing at the same bottleneck. Power and infrastructure. $660 billion committed in 2026. Half of it delayed. Grid queues stretching 7 years. Transformers on backorder. Permits taking longer than the projects themselves. IDLE Protocol doesn't build power plants or data centers. It connects the 4 billion devices already built, already powered, already sitting idle - phones, laptops, PCs - and turns them into a single distributed compute network. Every device executes real compute jobs - inference, web tasks, data processing, APIs - and earns USDC on Solana automatically. No permits. No 7-year grid queue. Just compute that already exists everywhere, finally connected. manufacturingdive.com/news/o…
