The Department of Energy has announced its commitment to advancing artificial intelligence infrastructure by proposing 16 public land sites suitable for data center construction. These locations are not only ideal for AI applications but also benefit from existing energy infrastructure, which will streamline the permitting process for new energy generation methods, including fusion. This initiative aligns with former President Trump's executive orders aimed at bolstering AI capabilities and energy security in the U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright emphasized the strategic importance of this endeavor for America's technological leadership in AI.
The global race for AI dominance is the next Manhattan project, and with President Trump's leadership and the innovation of our National Labs, the United States can and will win.
With today's action, the Department of Energy is taking important steps to leverage our domestic resources to power the AI revolution, while continuing to deliver affordable, reliable and secure energy to the American people.
