AI's Power Problem: The Grid Bottleneck Threatening American Competitiveness
AI data centers are using so much electricity that the old U.S. power grid can't keep up. Building new power lines and plants is slow, driving up costs and making it hard for America to lead in AI. Cyberattacks and physical threats put the grid at risk, and even the government says this is a big danger for national security. Huge investments and new rules are coming, but experts warn that if America doesn't fix the grid soon, it could fall behind in the global AI race.
