WE NEED...MOAR POWER!!!

The numbers being discussed in this article are staggering.  Doubling and Tripling the power currently being transmitted across the grid in the most power hungry and consumptive consumer of electrons on earth, the FSoA.

The article talks about these numbers with a straight face, as though this is even remotely possible in the short time span they think it will be necessary.  All of a sudden, "out of the blue", projections for the amount of power needed for all the AI, Data Centers and Crypto mining the capitalists desperately seek is rocketing into the stratosphere in orders of magnitude leaps and bounds.

We're going to NEED (sic) thousands of miles of transmission capability built, 1000s of "clean" Nuke Puke plants ncluding Fusion which still hasn't left the laboratory stage of development, much less become commercially viable.  Holes 1000s of miles deep are going to be drilled to access limitless Geothermal Power as well to feed the insatiable lust for more power.

The simple equation  MOAR POWER=MOAR MONEY is driving GREED to hitherto undreamed of levels, and apparently the folks who have all these Data Centers and Crypto Mines on their drawing boards believe they can make it happen.  All they need to do is streamline (aka eliminate) regulations and turn them loose and we'll light up the Universe with the bright green glow of money flowing through the wiring of the FSoA.

Does anybody here believe this shit?  Believe even that they realistically think can do it, much less actually do it?  Clean, carbon free power for all the EVs, all the heating and cooling, all the EV Flying Carz/Air Taxis and Superconducting Supercomputers dreamed of by every Billionaire Tech Futurist after consuming 10 tabs of Sandoz acid?

Boggles the mind.

Amid explosive demand, America is running out of power
