Trump signs the executive order to pressure coal for the authority of artificial intelligence
President Donald Trump signed Executive order On Tuesday, this aims to revive the American coal industry – partly to the high demand for artificial intelligence.
The executive thing “is pushing to use coal to run new artificial intelligence data (AI), at the White House advertisement.
The measures will witness some old coal factories, which have been appointed to retirement, in electricity production-including the intense energy intelligence centers of energy throughout the United States.
Trump, who was surrounded by a group of miners at the White House on Tuesday, announced a plan that said: “It cuts the unnecessary regulations that targeted beautiful and clean coal.”
The executive will classify coal as “critical minerals”, according to the White House. The administration also aims to “enhance coal and coal technology exports, facilitate international coal infiltration agreements in the United States, and accelerate the development of coal technology.”
Run the mutation of artificial intelligence
An increasing number of energy centers that highlight energy, which is decisive in managing artificial intelligence services, has contributed to the high demand for electricity in the United States in recent years.
For example, ELON Musk is planning to build a super computer in Memphis and apply for a permit to build a new power station next to it.
International Energy Agency Estimates Data centers consume 2 % to 3 % of the world’s energy – a number is expected to grow along with the collective dependence of artificial intelligence.
Coal is a stable energy source because it is somewhat abundant, and The supporters say It can meet the high energy requirements of data centers.
Since the United States is looking to strengthen the environmental system of Amnesty International and encourage tyrants to develop its techniques on home soil, the administration promotes coal as one to operate the mutation of artificial intelligence.
Trump has repeatedly repeated comparisons with China – which has Multiply On the production of the coal power plant, as well as the renewable energy resource industry – and the economic benefits it gained in the artificial intelligence race as a result.
The major technology giants such as Google, Meta and Amazon, which were scrambling to develop artificial intelligence models more advanced, had previously pledged to use low -carbon renewable energy sources to build their data centers. However, a lot of electricity needed for this has been generated so far by fossil fuels.
It may not be a smooth sailing to revive the charcoal industry. Critics say that natural gas, wind and solar energy are cheaper alternatives – and less pollution and environment taxes. US Energy Information Management estimated In February, 93 % of the new electrical generator capacity that will be added to the American network this year of solar energy, wind and batteries-which may make coal less competitive.
“Coal plants are old, dirty, non -competitive and unreliable,” Kate Kennedy, Managing Director of the Council of Natural Resources Defense, said in a statement on Tuesday. “The Trump administration is stuck in the past, in an attempt to make utility customers pay more for yesterday’s energy. Instead, it should do everything in its power to build the electricity network in the future.”
