Electricity demand was essentially flat for decades. Now it’s exploding. Heron Power CEO Drew Baglino: "Energy efficiency more or less negated the growth in energy services." "The net electricity delivered to accomplish those energy services stayed basically flat." "Even with all the AI things that are going on… And...

ELON: "WE'LL HAVE MORE AI CHIPS THAN POWER TO RUN THEM" "The limiting factor for AI deployment is fundamentally electrical power. It's energy. We're seeing the rate of AI chip production increase exponentially, but the rate of electricity being brought online is 5% a year, max. It's clear that we're very soon, maybe even later this year, we'll be producing more chips than we can turn on." Source: Elon Musk

America’s electricity demand is exploding. AI. Manufacturing. Data centers. If we want lower prices and energy dominance, we need more power — fast. Solar built with American materials and American jobs is part of that solution. Learn more at

Oyiwaa.... ! The chickens 🐔 are coming home to roost. We now pay 14.75% more for electricity than we did under Akufo-Addo, but the power isn't reliable. In other words, we are paying more for dumsor. Why, Mr. President?

Marc Andreessen: "Productivity growth is about to go through the roof." "Productivity growth for the last 50–60 years has been basically at historical lows... Fundamentally, I think it's because we decided other things are more important." "We decided we didn't want nuclear power. We decided we didn't want a space program. We decided we didn't want cars that went faster than 55." "What we got in the last 50 years was hyper-acceleration in very specifically—chips and software. And then essentially stagnation in everything else." "If either the AI optimists are correct, or the AI doomsayers are correct, productivity growth is about to go through the roof."

Elon Musk reveals the real limiting factor for AI is not chips anymore, it’s electricity AI chip production is growing exponentially, but global electricity supply is only increasing 3–4% per year. We’re reaching the point where we produce more chips than we can actually turn on Power is the ultimate bottleneck in 2026. Data centers now face up to 7-year waits for grid connections, leaving many GPUs sitting idle Energy is the new oil of the AI race
