@kevinolearytv is right that China is trying to convince America to stop building AI data centers while building tons of its own. That’s China’s plan to win the AI race and control the next century. But that DOES NOT mean data centers should just drain public power. I’m dead set against any data center that has a SINGLE line feeding them power from the grid. But some are generating their own power and giving the excess TO the grid. Those are two very different scenarios.

I just remembered something from a couple months ago. Trump secured pledges from the companies building these large data centers (Ratepayer Protection Pledge). Will they hold up to their end of the bargain? Don’t know yet.

President Trump Secures Historic Commitment to Keep Electricity Costs Down Amid Data Center Boom
Excerpt:
White House Special Advisor for AI and Crypto David Sacks: “Today President Trump obtained a pledge from America’s leading tech companies that new data centers would not increase electricity prices for residential consumers. These companies (including Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and xAI) signed the ‘Ratepayer Protection Pledge; under which they agree to cover the costs of all new power generation required for their data centers, ensuring such costs are not passed onto American households. This is a much better approach to affordability than Bernie Sanders’ total ban on new data centers, which would halt the construction boom currently driving wage growth and job growth for blue-collar workers. In fact, the Ratepayer Protection Pledge will lower electricity prices when AI companies pay for grid upgrades and sell their excess power back to the grid. Since the beginning of his second term, President Trump has championed the idea of letting our leading AI companies become power companies, and now this idea is becoming a reality thanks to his leadership and the commitments of these strong American companies. The right approach to data centers is not to stop progress altogether, but rather to protect residential rate payers from price increases, while making it easier to stand up new power generation.”
