Doubling the US industrial capacity requires 50% more electricity…already a high barrier to entry. If we want to throw in some new data centers, add another 25-50% on top of that. No small feat.

Should the US want to accomplish this industrial buildout, then heavily investing in long-distance lines is essential. The data centers are going to require 24/7 baseload, which means nuclear or coal (and natural gas for surges). So, you’ll have to swallow that pill too.

Power needs to be able to flow from where it’s created to where it’s needed. Transmission is the name of the game. Without that, none of this works. And if someone tries to paint a different picture for you, maybe don’t drink their Kool-Aid.
