Trump plans energy orders to power AI, challenge China's lead: Report
The Trump administration is readying a package of executive actions aimed at boosting energy supply to power the US expansion of artificial intelligence, according to four sources familiar with the economic rivals the US and China are locked in a technological arms race and, with it, secure an economic and military edge. The huge amount of data processing behind AI requires a rapid increase in power supplies that are straining utilities and grids in many moves under consideration include making it easier for power-generating projects to connect to the grid, and providing federal land on which to build the data centers needed to expand AI technology, according to the sources. The administration will also release an AI action plan and schedule public events to draw public attention to the efforts, according to the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss internal White House did not respond to requests for large-scale AI models requires a huge amount of electricity, and the industry's growth is driving the first big increase in US power demand in 2024 and 2029, US electricity demand is projected to grow at five times the rate predicted in 2022, according to power-sector consultancy Grid power demand from AI data centers could grow more than thirtyfold by 2035, according to a new report by consultancy and connecting new power generation to the grid, however, has been a major hurdle because such projects require extensive impact studies that can take years to complete, and existing transmission infrastructure is the ideas under consideration by the administration is to identify more fully developed power projects and move them higher on the waiting list for connection, two of the sources data centers has also been challenging because larger facilities require a lot of space and resources, and can face zoning obstacles or public executive orders could provide a solution to that by offering land managed by the Defense Department or Interior Department to project developers, the sources administration is also considering streamlining permitting for data centres by creating a nationwide Clean Water Act permit, rather than requiring companies to seek permits on a state-by-state basis, according to one of the January, Trump hosted top tech CEOs at the White House to highlight the Stargate Project, a multi-billion effort led by ChatGPT's creator OpenAI, SoftBank 9434.T and Oracle ORCL.N to build data centres and create more than 100,000 jobs in the USTrump has prioritised winning the AI race against China and declared on his first day in office a national energy emergency aimed at removing all regulatory obstacles to oil and gas drilling, coal and critical mineral mining, and building new gas and nuclear power plants to bring more energy capacity also ordered his administration in January to produce an AI Action Plan that would make "America the world capital in artificial intelligence" and reduce regulatory barriers to its rapid report, which includes input from the National Security Council, is due by July 23. The White House is considering making July 23 "AI Action Day" to draw attention to the report and demonstrate its commitment to expanding the industry, two of the sources is scheduled to speak at an AI and energy event in Pennsylvania on July 15 hosted by Senator Dave this month announced it would invest $20 billion in data centers in two Pennsylvania counties.- EndsMust Watch
