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...

We are turning energy into non-biological Intelligence. Data centers are literally 'factories' that produce Intelligence. Electricity is the essential input. The electricity powers computation, and the computation produces and processes the tokens through which machine Intelligence operates. As these systems become more capable and autonomous, they consume vastly more tokens, driving ever greater demand for computation and electricity. OpenRouter estimates that an agentic request already consumes around 15 times as many tokens as a human-led request on its platform. This fundamentally changes the nature of electricity demand as our demand for useful Intelligence has no obvious ceiling. If more computation can produce more valuable work, we will keep finding more work for machines to do - and so, we will need ever more electricity. We got future energy demand so wrong because we did not foresee that non-biological Intelligence could be produced industrially; and that we would need an entirely new energy paradigm to support that.

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

NOW: President Trump has arrived at the EPA to announce a new AI energy initiative, making sure data centers are the ones footing the bill for their energy usage — NOT American families They'll actually be producing MORE energy than they use, driving down rates for families. "The American Innovators and consumers strive to win together because we're insisting that AI data centers and big tech companies pay THEIR OWN WAY." "They're going to have a lot of electricity left over, and they'll put that into the grid so it'll actually end up with more electricity. The rates are going to go DOWN."

MARA CEO: Using Electricity for AI Is Far More Profitable Than Bitcoin Mining Fred Thiel Fred Thiel, CEO of MARA, one of the world's largest publicly listed Bitcoin mining companies, said in a July 23 interview with Natalie Brunell that electricity has become the industry's most critical resource, as the same amount of power can generate far greater returns when used for AI than for Bitcoin mining. This is why MARA and many of its peers are shifting toward AI data centers. However, MARA will continue mining Bitcoin, as it remains an effective way to utilize surplus electricity in regions where energy is free or inexpensive.

I don't think how much intelligence we can unlock with just the sun's energy. The outcomes are COUNTLESS! Elon: "You can certainly imagine a situation where we let's say a million times more energy is harnessed [from the sun] than all of Earth's current electricity usage. That would still only be roughly a millionth of the sun's energy output." "Essentially, if you increase the economy by a factor of a million, it's still 1 millionth only of the sun's energy harnessed. What does an economy or an intelligence using a million times more electricity than all of Earth's civilization think about, look like, or do? It's going to be something pretty magnificent."

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."

🚨 BREAKING: A $100 BILLION private investment has been announced in Kentucky for AI, and the center will be producing MORE energy than it consumes thanks to President Trump Thousands of jobs being created! This is a HUGE WIN, China is fuming! 👏🏻 Energy Sec. Chris Wright expects these locations to DRIVE DOWN electricity prices for Americans in the region "It's going onto the grid to help lower electricity prices for all the residents in the region, and also allowed new businesses to start. Thousands of additional jobs will be created in that area, because we'll have a surplus of energy. Low prices, more jobs."

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

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump has just announced an agreement with tech companies REQUIRING THEM to fully cover the cost of increased electricity production required for their data centers This has been a HUGE worry of Americans worried about their electric bills spiking as more and more data centers are built, so Trump stepped in. Trump says the new electricity generated from plants built by big tech firms will actually DRIVE DOWN energy prices for consumers, as excess power will go back into the grid. "This is an HISTORIC win for countless American families and will also make our electricity grids stronger and more resilient than ever before." "They will be getting a lot of excess electricity for the data centers where they build their own plants." "It's actually going to mean the prices come DOWN."

Elon Musk explains how data centers in Space could help the US compete with China in AI “Given that Chinese AI companies are doing as well as they are with a relatively small amount of compute, it seems that if they had a lot of compute, there’s a good chance they would be the leaders. The constraints on AI are essentially electricity and AI chips. China is very strong in digital AI, and it has far more electricity than the United States. In fact, China already has more electricity than the United States, Europe and India combined. The US government can prevent US companies from using Chinese models, but it can’t stop the rest of the world from using them. That won’t stop China from becoming the leader in AI. Digital intelligence comes down to how much AI compute, how many chips and how much electricity you have. The current constraint is electricity outside China. In China, the constraint is chips. China is also closer than most people realize to solving the lithography problem, which would enable it to make AI chips in very large volumes. Once we address the power constraint with AI data centers in space, the constraint will once again be chips outside China.”

ELON MUSK: "xAI will be the leader, we'll be able to turn on more chips than other people and faster, because we're good at hardware. The current limiting factor that I see in the sort of three to four year time frame is chips. In one day time it's the energy, power production, electricity. It's not clear to me that there's enough usable electricity to turn on all the AI chips that are being made, towards the end of this year. xAI will be able to scale hardware the fastest, and therefore most likely will be the leader."

Northern Ireland has some of Europe’s highest electricity bills… and here’s why: • We pay more than Britain, the Republic, and a third more than the EU median. • Nearly half our electricity comes from renewables — yet 1/4 of it can’t even be used. • Wind farms are paid subsidies whether they produce electricity or are forced to shut down. • Gas plants stay on for backup, and we all pay for both. • Marginal pricing system: the most expensive generator sets the price — so cheap renewables are still charged at gas prices. • Small, isolated grid with few connections — we feel price spikes instantly. • Politicians push net-zero targets, but you pay the cost, while youth leave and the civil service expands. Energy is the economy. Affordable electricity isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. Enough talk, it’s time politicians start representing the people.
