U.S. Pushes AI Leadership Through Energy Strategy | Annapolis News

Energy Secretary Chris Wright is rallying the U.S. to seize AI leadership—warning that the nation dominating AI will be the next global superpower, and America can’t cede that to China. As AI demand surges and threatens energy grids, Wright pushes back against proposed data center moratoriums in New York, calling them counterproductive. He champions a voluntary “Ratepayer Protection Pledge” that requires developers to upgrade local grids and freeze electricity prices for years, arguing that state green mandates—not data centers—are the real cause of rising bills. Highlighting advanced cooling tech that slashes water use, Wright urges communities to embrace these projects for jobs and revenue, framing AI infrastructure as vital to both economic strength and national security.
