This headline from the energy industry news sources in recent days is hair-raising:
This is one of the most imminent threats to our security and economy, and yet almost NO ONE in Washington or in state capitals is paying attention. Much of the crisis is due to the green energy idiocy of the last administration.
America is rapidly building data centers to make way for the AI/robotics revolution. That’s the good news. The bad news is we don’t have a reliable grid system to handle the massive increase in electricity demand. We’re nearing full capacity and the demand could double over the next decade.
Experts say that these latest data centers “are growing faster and bigger than ever” and “can consume as much power as entire cities.”
Data Center Power Demands Will Quadruple Over 10 Years
How do we avert the crisis?
-
- Remove ALL Biden-era obstacles to drilling for natural gas – the cleanest and most efficient power source.
- Stop shutting down efficient and low cost clean coal plants.
- Green light the building of nuclear plants.
- Protect and expand the reliability of the electric grid system IMMEDIATELY.
- End renewable energy mandates in many states that disrupt the grid system and double power costs.
- Build pipelines and LNG terminals to safely transport gas throughout the country and world.
