Trump\u2019s Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, who also attended the signing, said, &#8220;The US is in an AI arms race with China. The only way we win is with more electricity.&#8221; According to the White House, the council will coordinate energy policy across federal agencies and streamline permitting, production, and distribution of various energy resources. The move aligns with Trump\u2019s campaign promise to &#8220;drill, baby, drill,&#8221; boosting domestic oil and gas production and reversing any concerns from the Biden a dministration about carbon emissions or the impact on climate change.The aim is also to counter potential rising costs from Trump\u2019s trade wars, which could see energy prices increase once energy imports or US exports are hit with tariffs. The demands of the AI industry for electric power are acute, with data servers a lready putting a heavy strain on the country\u2019s overstretched electricity supply.The supply of electric power in the United States has suffered from chronic underinvestment, exacerbated by ageing nuclear plants being taken offline. Tech CEOs have been intensely lobbying the Trump administration to focus on the need for power to meet their AI demands. By as soon as 2028, officials expect that tech companies will have AI training energy needs of as much as five gigawatts \u2013 enough to power roughly five million homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Times)- WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has established a new energy council to tackle the growing electricity demands, aiming to strengthen the country\u2019s position in its artificial intelligence rivalry with China. &#8220;We\u2019re going to be energy dominant like nobody else, and this doesn\u2019t even cover all the electricity we\u2019re going to be producing for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":98924,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
