A massive AI datacenter hub spearheaded by Donald Trump's initiative is set to be built in Pennsylvania, sparking concerns over the nation's electrical grid stability due to its anticipated 1,000- to 2,000-megawatt load on a single area. The PJM power grid, which serves 14 states and the District of Columbia, has been urged by a bipartisan group of governors to increase oversight in light of rising electricity costs for consumers, prompting a coalition of energy firms to pledge funding to expand power services in the region, including partnerships with Eos Energy Enterprises and Talen Energy Corporation.

Texas's Senate Bill 6 poses a significant threat to the state's prosperity and innovation ambitions under former president Donald Trump's AI vision. The proposed bill aims to regulate data centers by increasing transmission costs and requiring redundant on-site generation, which would disproportionately affect these facilities. However, this approach fails to address the root cause of energy instability in Texas. Instead of targeting data centers, the issue at hand is the need for grid modernization. Advanced power sources, such as small modular nuclear reactors, can provide clean and reliable energy to meet growing demand from industries like technology. By prioritizing zero-carbon power, data centers could not only reduce their environmental footprint but also contribute to grid resilience by supplying excess electricity during periods of scarcity. This approach would strengthen the digital backbone of modern life in Texas, rather than putting it at risk. The misguided bill would punish one of the state's most promising industries and undermine President Trump's vision for a prosperous America.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence is perhaps Steven Spielberg's most underrated directorial efforts, and definitely one of his best to date.
