micron folsom and the hidden energy demand story
The user is asking for a comprehensive article about "micron folsom" written in the voice of a boardroom-grade LNG market intelligence publication, connecting Micron's Folsom facility to the hidden energy demand story that impacts LNG markets. Key findings from my research: 1. Micron Folsom is a California R&D/design center (not a fab) focused on AI-optimized memory, particularly HBM (High-Bandwidth Memory) 2. It's a key facility for Micron's AI memory development with 250-499 employees 3. The "hidden energy demand story" relates to how AI data centers and semiconductor facilities are driving massive electricity demand 4. Micron's NY fab alone will use 16,000+ GWh annually (enough for 500,000+ homes) 5. Data centers are increasingly turning to natural gas/LNG for reliable power since renewables alone can't meet demand 6. HBM technology reduces power consumption by 20% but AI workloads still drive overall energy demand up I need to write this as an LNG industry intelligence piece that connects semiconductor/AI energy demand to LNG markets. The article must be pure HTML with specific formatting requirements.
