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.
Even before electric vehicles, the surging demand for AI got blamed first. Crypto currency mining is also mentioned.
The problem is not lack of fuel or lack of generative capacity, but lack of transmission capacity.
