Grid Power & Water Demand Co-Simulation with CrewAI & Fixie

Grid capacity limits and community opposition present key hurdles for new data center proposals. Build a collaborative multi-agent simulation using CrewAI and Fixie interfaces to model real-time electrical grid strain and water usage against regional utility capacity. Achieve sub-minute simulation accuracy across peak load scenarios.
