Government land grabs for AI power; build gas or nuclear
Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager
Government land grabs, under the guise of powering AI.
A far less dystopian solution would be to allow natural gas or small nuclear power generation plants to be built near the AI data centers.
======================
“… Powering up America and upgrading power grids for artificial intelligence data centers, onshoring trends, and the electrification of the economy will require thousands of miles of new transmission lines nationwide.
Existing lines will be upgraded, but new lines will also be needed, resulting in the seizure of private property via eminent domain.
… It’s becoming clear that the dark side of powering up America for AI data centers will be land grabs by the government through eminent domain.
In Maryland’s case, residents who do not comply with MPRP will see parts of their farms and forests snatched up for the infrastructure project.
However, the only reason the new transmission line plan exists is because of the so-called state managers in Annapolis, lawmakers, who are truly awful at their jobs.
The genius in Annapolis waged war on fossil fuels and banned any new development of fossil fuel power plants at a time when power demand is rising.
So, instead of building clean NatGas power generation plants near the AI data centers, Maryland must import power from other states. Real efficient, eh?
In a recent report from ESG Legal Solutions, LLC, titled “Maryland’s Energy Crisis: The Critical Need to Boost In State Electricity Generation,” the authors state,
● “Maryland consumes about 40% more electricity than it generates.”
To sum up, the dark side of the next AI trade will involve land grabs of private property.
That’s likely to happen in Maryland and elsewhere.
But also, we have to point out that the only reason this is happening are the progressives in Annapolis who push green policies. …”
