Data Centers and AI demand for electricity provide a forcing funciton to roduce policies designed to provide essential reliable, abundant, affordable energy.
By Jeff Garzik and Ralph Benko It may seem paradoxical. But sometimes shortages can be a shortcut to abundance.

It forces conscious attention upon something and thus deliberately disrupts the efficient or automatised performance of a task.
The hundreds of data centers, presumably harboring millions of servers , that power the Internet consume massive amounts of electricity. So much so that the internet needs, now and for the foreseeable future, the resuscitation of coal-fired power plants to generate that power.
