"AI-Powered Solutions for America's Looming Electricity Crisis"

The United States is facing a power crunch as demand for electricity skyrockets due to the proliferation of data centers and clean-technology factories, leaving utilities and regulators struggling to expand the aging power grid. The surge in demand, driven by factors such as artificial intelligence, crypto-mining, and the Biden administration's industrial policy, is leading to battles over who will pay for new power supplies and threatening the transition to cleaner energy. As the grid struggles to keep up, companies are exploring off-the-grid solutions and alternative energy sources, while officials are grappling with the challenges of building new transmission lines and addressing the strain on the overtaxed grid.
