Trump Plans Executive Order to Boost Energy Supply for AI Development
- The Trump administration is preparing executive actions to boost energy supply for expanding artificial intelligence by easing regulations and aiding infrastructure.
- This effort follows a January executive order aiming to remove regulatory hurdles to AI growth amid a U.S.-China technological arms race.
- The administration intends to allocate federal land for developing AI data centers, simplify the permitting process by introducing a single national permit under the Clean Water Act instead of multiple state permits, and give priority to advancing power projects for grid connection.
- A July 23 AI Action Plan report, including National Security Council input, will coincide with events like Trump’s July 15 Pennsylvania speech and Amazon's $20 billion data center investment there.
- These measures seek to respond to an anticipated exponential increase in AI-driven electricity consumption, which Deloitte projects may multiply over thirty times by 2035, placing significant pressure on power grids and utility providers across the country.
