On July 7 local time, the U.S. Department of Energy said that if suppliers fail to increase power capacity during peak demand, the number of power outages in the United States may double in five years. In a report on grid reliability and security, the U.S. Department of Energy pointed out that if the United States continues to shut down reliable sources of electricity, the number of power outages may increase by 100% by 2030. The report pointed out that the Biden administration's green policies are the main reason for the retirement of power plants and the delay in approving replacement power plants. The report added that the gap between electricity supply and demand in the United States is widening, especially as artificial intelligence drives the demand for more power-intensive data centers.
