Interesting what the direction is leading. Imagine this is the case for the entire planet, all electricity goes to AI. Who's going to consume the AI without electricity?

This cannot be a reliable permanent solution.

If data centers are America's last hope for future prosperity why is the federal government not stepping in? Now rural communities are left holding the ball.

Remarkably it was Washington who built the power lines and hydrodams a 100 years ago but now crickets.
