The United States faces critical infrastructure pressures as aging electrical grids risk outage increases amid rising demand driven by AI data centers and electrification efforts. Experts warn that without substantial upgrades, the power bottleneck may limit AI expansion and overall economic growth. Similarly, challenges impact technology manufacturing, with the Trump administration negotiating a rare direct government investment in chipmaker Intel to boost domestic production. Additionally, regulatory opposition to major wind energy transmission projects reflects the administration's complex stance on energy policy and infrastructure development.
