Interesting shift in U.S. energy strategy: the Trump administration is backing natural gas to fuel the AI infrastructure boom rather than renewable sources. Sounds straightforward, but here's the catch—constructing a gas plant now takes around five years from groundbreaking to operation. That timeline mismatch creates a real puzzle for the AI industry pushing for massive power consumption. For blockchain infrastructure and crypto mining operations relying on stable energy sources, this policy direction could reshape regional power availability and cost structures. The tension between rapid AI deployment demands and lengthy construction cycles raises questions about whether traditional energy infrastructure can actually keep pace with tech sector growth demands.
