Well guess what folks!!!
Amid explosive demand, America is running out of power
AI and the boom in clean-tech manufacturing are pushing America’s power grid to the brink. Utilities can’t keep up.

ast swaths of the United States are at risk of running short of power as electricity-hungry data centers and clean-technology factories proliferate around the country, leaving utilities and regulators grasping for credible plans to expand the nation’s creaking power grid.
In Georgia, demand for industrial power is surging to record highs, with the projection of electricity use for the next decade
now 17 times what it was only recently.
Arizona Public Service, the largest utility in that state, is also struggling to keep up, projecting it will be out of transmission capacity before the end of the decade absent major upgrades.
Northern Virginia needs the equivalent of several large nuclear power plants to serve all the new data centers planned and under construction. Texas, where electricity shortages are already routine on hot summer days, faces the same dilemma.
The
soaring demand is touching off a scramble to try to squeeze more juice out of an
aging power grid while pushing commercial customers to go to extraordinary lengths to lock down energy sources, such as building their own power plants.
NOW remember again Biden's promised to get rid of 60% of electricity generating by fossil fuel plants!
How f...king DUMB!!!
