Experts warn U.S. grid limits could hand AI advantage to China
China's approach is to have reserve margins of 80%-100%??!! That's not "long-term planning", that's long-term wastefulness. The U.S.' approach is not effective either and has been a problem ever since we decided that monopolies are the way to go. (That was a very bad call.) A better approach than both of those is to unleash the power of the free market on the U.S. electricity challenge. (The free market has almost eradicated global poverty and frankly, electricity should be easy in comparison.) So how do we unleash the free market on electricity? "Consumer Regulated Electricity" (CRE) is one way. CRE is a proposal for state policy that would enable entrepreneurs and private investors to create new, independent, competitive, and large-scale utilities. These "CRE Utilities" would be able to move much faster and be far more creative and innovative than is possible in today's sector, whether in the U.S. or China. If the U.S. harnesses free market approaches like CRE then it will have the advantage, hands down.
