Governments are grappling with the immense power demands of data centers, particularly those supporting AI, with some regions imposing restrictions due to grid capacity limitations. While cities like Dublin and New York have enacted pauses or new rules for data center construction, the author argues that such restrictions are a strategic mistake. Instead, the focus should be on expanding power supply and grid infrastructure to meet the growing demand, as reliable energy is becoming a critical factor for AI development and national economic power. AI
