“Despite the recent surge in AI doomerism, President Donald Trump is right to maintain his strong support for data centers. As he notes: ‘China couldn’t be happier’ if we were to turn our backs on these centers as a nation, which would effectively let the Chinese Communist Party win the AI race. As Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in July, ‘The country that leads in artificial intelligence in the coming years and decades ahead will be the global superpower’. Victory means capturing trillions of dollars in national wealth, securing an advantage in military technology and gaining enormous leverage in international affairs. An energy bottleneck could pose a serious risk to America’s AI lead. We need data centers to train and run top-tier AI models, and those centers need a lot of electricity.” (09/29/26)
