AI Data Centers Push Grid to Brink, Sparking Infrastructure Crisis
Description
AI data centers strain U.S. power grid, causing massive backlogs and equipment shortages. Demand surges, but grid cant keep up, with only thirteen percent of projects completed. Interconnection times double to over four years, and supply chains for key gear are choked. Transmission line construction plummets, with permitting taking four to eleven years. Data center developers bypass grid with on-site natural gas plants, leaving regulators to balance costs without burdening families.
