Back when the government actually did stuff for the people, they established the RUS. It brought electricity to millions who were not in high-density population centers.

Well, government doesn't really work anymore. The Reps have been saying it for 50 years, and working tirelessly to make sure it was true. Now, our grid is pathetic. In an era where we demand more power for more things, our grid is largely neglected.

China, on the other hand, is putting us to shame.

“Everywhere we went, people treated energy availability as a given,” Rui Ma wrote on X after returning from a recent tour of China’s AI hubs.

For American AI researchers, that’s almost unimaginable. In the U.S., surging AI demand is colliding with a fragile power grid, the kind of extreme bottleneck that Goldman Sachs warns could severely choke the industry’s growth.

In China, Ma continued, it’s considered a “solved problem.”
