This isn’t just a policy challenge. It’s a national competitiveness issue. If we don’t align timelines, supply chains, and grid capacity, the clean energy future will stall.

Transmission systems need to expand by 60% by 2030. But normalized capacity is actually declining. We’re racing forward with one foot on the brake.

The 45-day Treasury guidance delay isn’t relief, it’s the calm before the storm. Once guidance drops, competition for equipment, grid space, and labor will spike.

Data center energy demand is exploding. The grid isn’t ready.
Yet some experts push demand curtailment as a solution. That won’t work.
We need nuclear, HVDC, and serious grid investment—not hope.

❌ "Let’s just manage demand."
✅ Build nuclear, HVDC, and baseload power.
Flexible loads won’t fix this. We need real energy investment.
