AI Data Center Isn’t the Problem. America’s Energy Infrastructure Is.
Mikey LucasAI is exposing a solid truth about America’s power system. The issue is not innovation. The issue is infrastructure. As AI data centers scale at record speed, regulators are raising antitrust concerns around energy use and grid dominance. This breakdown looks at why the real risk is slow planning, outdated regulation, and underbuilt power systems, not AI itself. This post explains how rising data center demand signals a need for fast, investment-grade energy development using proven resources like natural gas, batteries, and onsite power. It also outlines why private capital and parallel power systems will determine who wins the AI race. If you care about energy security, grid reliability, and the future of AI, this conversation matters.
