Trump Says AI Is So Important He'll Build New Power Plants Attached to Datacenters
Briefly

At the World Economic Forum, President Trump expressed the need for AI datacenters to have their own electricity generation facilities to manage the substantial energy demand they impose on the existing grid. He aims to expedite the development of these energy projects through emergency declarations, which could streamline regulatory approvals. This approach aligns with his broader agenda supporting fossil fuel industries, emphasizing energy independence and reducing reliance on traditional utilities amid concerns over the aging power infrastructure in the U.S.
We're going to make it so that the plants will have their own electric generating facilities attached right to their plant. They don't have to worry about a utility.
Under emergency declaration, I can get the approvals done myself without having to go through years of waiting.
