AI is about to transform the grid—and the U.S. isn’t ready. Our new report, The Rise of AI: A Reality Check on Energy and Economic Impacts, by @MarkPMills breaks down what AI-scale power demand really looks like and why firm, reliable energy is essential for U.S.

AI isn’t just another tech trend—it’s a new class of computing with an energy footprint growing faster than Moore’s Law. As Executive Director @MarkPMills notes, we’ve added nearly 20 GW of data center capacity in four years—2× NYC’s peak load—and the next wave (50–100 GW) will

The race to 100 GW? More? AI Boom or Bubble debate isn’t going to end any time soon. That AI is structurally different from conventional compute should, by now, be obvious. So should the fact that AI compute performance is getting better at a smoking hot rate, faster than the

Electricity prices keep rising—and we’re not being told why. Jonathan Lesser’s new @RCEnergy op-ed exposes the real driver: policy-forced electrification + unrealistic renewable mandates that are straining the grid and pushing rates higher. His NCEA issue brief has the data to

Americans are paying more for electricity — but not because of “regulatory reform.” As @ChuckDeVore's Fox News op-ed notes, skyrocketing rates are driven by forced electrification + unrealistic green mandates that ignore how the grid actually works. Our new NCEA issue brief

America’s energy resurgence isn’t just an economic success—it’s a strategic shift. As Visiting Fellow @MatthewTMcManus notes, record U.S. oil and LNG exports are now core tools of diplomacy and global stability. NCEA’s report, A Generational Opportunity: Achieving U.S. Dominance

The U.S. emerged as the world’s top exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2023. This did not happen overnight or by accident.
Sharing https://t.co/cyVe8EK8YF in @OGJOnline America’s energy resurgence is more than a boom—it’s a strategic transformation! It’s also a foreign policy story. We now have real leverage to deter bad actors, and defend our interests and allies. It’s a story worth telling!
