Vast swaths of the United States are at risk of running short of power as electricity-hungry data centers and clean-technology factories proliferate around the country, leaving utilities and regulators grasping for credible plans to expand the nation’s creaking power grid.
In Georgia, demand for industrial power is surging to record highs, with the projection of new electricity use for the next decade now 17 times what it was only recently. Arizona Public Service, the largest utility in that state, is also struggling to keep up, projecting it will be out of transmission capacity before the end of the decade absent major upgrades.

It’s a feature.
This is what the left wants.
Just the price of socialism.
“Just plug it in!”
IF this is true, then it is solely because retarded leftist eco-freaks are shutting down coal plants.
Cryptocurrency mining farms are using a lot of electricity.
But, electricity comes from walls.
There’s one of these in my small town (paducah ky) I see the workers out in parking lot quite a bit....they look like all Chinese. The scary thing is that they’re located near a major substaiton which makes me nervous as far sabotage goes.

They are saving the world, one unstoppable car fire, at a time.
Yeh, Iceland is a good spot for them; plenty of thermal power, water, cold temp.
Windmills for everybody!
Compounding the fact that the leftists have hindered our ability to build nuclear power plants.
Joe, ask your buddy Xi if you can borrow his credible plans. I don’t hear any creaking coming from China.
Soon....
Dem aide:
They did a ceremony of the last gas range being tossed onto a landfill heap. Next to the lawn mowers and leaf blowers.
Next year we will have one for the final gas powered car. It has to get gas in big cans from Mexico or Canada to run it. (laughs).
Reporter rushing in: “Did you see the bulletin? There’s going to be a total power outage in twenty minutes over the Eastern half of the country.”
Aide: Again? Sheesh.
a high yet necessary cost to prove beyond any doubt to typical Moe&Ron leftists and their complicit rinoclass voters that voting D means voting for the Demise of these United States of America. but, you know...true believers.
Duh!
The true believers believe failure is a result of not enough socialism.
Plug in a Tesla, tear down a dam!
To paraphrase my famous tagline: “An Infrastructure built on MERIT cannot survive on DEI”. We now have DEIs running national energy policy - and so the system will all grew up with and loved will soon COLLAPSE.
