The Looming Electrical Power Shortage

 Many states in the U.S. are headed for a serious and prolonged shortage of electrical power not seen in decades, driven by rising demand from the artificial intelligence revolution and mandates to adopt green energy.

For 20 years, U.S. electrical power policy has been dominated by efforts to try to "Mitigate" global warming, believed to be caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.

The forced transition to green energy drives three new sources of power demand.

In 2022, ISO New England concluded that a shift from gas appliances to electric appliances in New England would require more new electricity than a shift to EVs.

In addition to new facilities, servers in the nation's 2,700 data centers are being upgraded with new high-performance processing cards, boosting power consumption by six to 10 times.

First, electrical utilities will cease the premature shutdown of coal, gas, and nuclear power plants.

The green energy transition will be sacrificed in favor of generating enough electrical power.
