Artificial Intelligence Needs Electricity, and Electricity Needs Freedom

"Progress does not come from central planning. It comes from exploration, the process of trial and error, and dynamic adaptation to changing circumstances. In a recent issue of Free Society, Johan Norberg argued that abundance tends to arise from unplanned, bottom-up problem-solving—not from central blueprints.

....

Energy and AI are no exceptions. In too many parts of the country, electricity policy is still built around forecasting demand, rationing supply, and approving projects through multi-year regulatory battles. AI and the industries emerging around it are growing quickly through trial and error, experimentation, and iteration. These worldviews were bound to collide.

....

Regulation is fast becoming the choke point not just for growth in energy use, but for growth in productive intelligence."
