Data Center Expansion Driving U.S. Energy Policy Toward a Clean Future
The surging growth of data centers, driven by increased digitalization and the rise of artificial intelligence, poses major implications for U.S. energy policy. This trend accelerates power demand growth, presenting challenges for the current administration. Energy experts consider how the industry must adapt to meet these increasing needs. While advancements in nuclear technology are promising, new operational capacities may not materialize until much later in the decade. Consequently, energy policies must evolve to incorporate sustainable solutions that align with this burgeoning demand.
