Seeking Expert Perspectives on AI Data Centers and Electricity Constraints:
Kindly share your response on any of the 3 questions or on all of them.
I am currently researching how the United States can address the growing electricity constraints affecting AI data center development, with particular attention to diplomatic and international policy options.
I would welcome perspectives from experts working in energy policy, electricity grids, AI infrastructure, data centers, nuclear energy, critical minerals, international energy cooperation, or U.S. economic diplomacy.
In particular, I am interested in views on:
• What international or diplomatic measures could realistically help the United States expand electricity supply for AI and data center growth?
• Beyond importing electricity, what role could cooperation with allies play in areas such as grid equipment, nuclear energy, critical minerals, supply chains, or even hosting energy-intensive computing abroad?
• What lessons, if any, should the United States draw from China’s approach to securing the power needed for rapid AI and data center expansion?
This research is being prepared for a client report. With your permission, selected insights may be quoted and attributed by name and professional affiliation.
If you work in this area and would be willing to share a brief perspective, please comment below or send me a direct message.
Thanks
