The Big Green Grift, the Energiewende and all the other green energy scams are about to be slowly shuttled aside because we need massive amounts of new energy these schemes cannot deliver.
Crypto mining, the cloud, now AI, all colossal energy eaters. Within the next decade it is likely that another new technology will push demand far higher.
Great perspective. If the government subsidies for wind and solar are curtailed by a new administration, and the animas against fossil fuel and nuclear is lessened, the market will take care of the rest, to the extent that it's freed up. Go nuclear!
Thank you for an informative essay. The last time there was large U.S. data center growth was between the late 1990s and 2001. Data centers provide "lifeline" services in the form of a reliable internet, something that most take for granted in the U.S. See this January 28, 2024 Bloomberg article, "Blackstone Is Building a $25 Billion Empire of Power-Hungry Data Centers," by Dawn Lim.
