Donald Trump has linked the need for AI dominance with increased fossil fuel production, claiming that a true AI revolution will require double the current energy output. He emphasized the U.S.'s abundant coal, oil, and gas resources as potential solutions to meet this energy demand. Meanwhile, AI executives are more inclined to advocate for renewable energy sources, yet they express concerns about the energy needed for AI's rapid growth.
Despite claims of an impending energy crisis, experts argue that the U.S. is not facing an energy shortage. Data centers are indeed increasing energy consumption, but the overall electricity demand is not expected to exceed current production capabilities. The push for fossil fuels appears to be more politically motivated than a necessity driven by actual energy needs.
