Inside the Trump administration’s deranged push to power AI with dirty energy

The Trump Administration is wreaking havoc apparently randomly, but if you put their actions together as a carefully organized magaed puzzle, it seems to explain something more harmful.

On May 15, the administrator of the environmental protection agency Lee Zeldin said during a hearing That he planned to make the United States the “world capital of AI”, giving an overview of the wider plans of the Trump administration for dirty energy.

President Donald Trump gives artificial intelligence the treatment of the red carpet, but he needs dirty energy to do it. To make it happen, “”Trump daddy“I cannot sign a decree and go on its happy path – even if it seems to be the status quo these days.

Instead, each member of the cabinet reproduces lips of green legislation, regulations, closed coal mines, and even more to ensure that companies amortizing the energy they need.

For Zeldin, he ensures that coal factories have no annoying regulations on pollution. In fact, companies can now Submit their complaints to a messaging server If they believe that any green regulations are particularly embarrassing, which is excellent news for the big coal, since it will soon have much more raw materials that descend the mounting chain.

Thanks to the interior secretary Doug Burgum, the coal mines that have been closed were closed reopening. Even new uranium mines – a vital energy source for AI – are Go around environmental controls.

But move as Crack protected land once protected in Alaska To harvest dirty energy, the eyebrows raised environmentalists. Earlier this month, Burgum Displayed a hardhat While visiting the iced land of Alaska to boast of a new business: to exploit protected land.

But the objective of Alaska oil is not only to supply AI but to become a supplier for other countries. As for coal mines, however, convincing young people to dive into mines has become increasingly difficult. And with the Secretary of Health and Social Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Resource reduction So that current minors get free pulmonary health screening, this probably does not help.

Here again, the Trump administration prioritizes energy production on the viability of the career – because to become the “world capital of AI”, the United States will have to produce much more energy.

Even the energy secretary Chris Wright agrees with this feeling.

“We have to direct and win the AI ​​race, just as we did the Manhattan project”, he said last month. “This is Manhattan Project 2.”

This is certainly good news for the Trump administration’s objective to become the “world capital of AI” – and bad news for everyone.
