A problem that's not mentioned about EVs is that there is another massive consumer of electricity that is going to compete with them for the grid.

Large AI data centers.

Some of these big data centers consume as much power as medium-sized cities.

AI use is exploding...data centers are being built as fast as possible around the world to stay apace with this growth.

St. Greta of Thunberg, Al Gore, and John Kerry are going to have aneurisms when they recognize what is about to happen.

As an aside, I think there will be an explosion of nuclear power plants around the world.

There has to be. But perhaps "explosion" isn't the best word in this context!

“AI use is exploding...data centers are being built as fast as possible around the world to stay apace with this growth.”

What, specifically, is AI? Perhaps examples are the only way to describe it.

Why does AI specifically increase demand for data centers?

My opinion until someone changes it is that AI is just the normal progression of computer hardware and software.

Tesla vehicles are AI devices. The Tesla AI chips are the best in the business
