Election Night 2024 Important Energy Policy
You know, I think people are missing the boat on this whole energy green debate. Let me put it a different way that I could sell it on a bipartisan basis. China is building gigawatt AI data centers and firing them up with coal plants. They are using that AI technology to advance their military interests. We are falling behind in West Virginia and Virginia on AI data centers just to keep pace with what they're doing on how they're going to use AI for world dominance.
I'm sorry, I'm in that camp. We don't have any power in America to build data centers. We have demand for 30 gigawatts; we have five on the books being built. And just f---ing just shut down the idea of using nuclear power for Amazon data center. This is against American military; that's what's going on here.
So if you're sitting around worried about the green story, you should start worrying about China in five years being advanced against us in military might using AI. It's a very powerful tool. So I don't agree with Larry on the 15; we need 18 million a day, and the way we're going to get it is we're going to open up the ANWR.
And here's the deal to sell to every member of the voting population: every dime on royalties coming out of ANWR goes against the national debt. That's the only place it goes; it reduces the cost of carrying the debt. Open the ANWR up, sell the oil to Asia, and get even more capital to offset our debt.
Number two, it's not just drill baby drill; it's gas, gas, baby gas, because the new double cycle turbines from Siemens or others are able to turn gas into electricity on almost 100% recapture of carbon. So everybody stop whining about the green stuff; we have the technology for everybody to be happy.
