Trump’s AI Action Plan Gets It Right: Energy Dominance Powers Tech Dominance
The White House just released its bold AI Action Plan, and it couldn’t come at a more important moment. With China racing to dominate the future of artificial intelligence, President Trump’s plan sends a clear message: America intends to win.
At Power The Future, we are proud to see so many of the priorities we wrote about in our April 2025 whitepaper on the energy infrastructure needed to power America’s AI moonshot. Because here’s the truth: AI innovation doesn’t happen without energy innovation.
Energy: The Real Backbone of AI
The United States cannot build data centers or power AI models with good intentions. It takes affordable, reliable electricity, and a strong grid. The Action Plan recognizes this, calling for:
- Streamlined permitting for energy projects, data centers, and infrastructure
- A modernized, hardened grid to meet the explosive demand of AI
- Federal lands opened up for power development
- A renewed focus on base load capacity, not just intermittent sources
This is exactly what energy workers across the country have been saying: let us build, and we’ll power America’s future.
Scrapping Climate Dogma
The plan also draws a hard line against the regulatory overreach and climate activism that slowed progress in the past. It removes Biden-era mandates that forced agencies to bake climate ideology into AI policies, and replaces them with a focus on free speech, scientific objectivity, and American values.
The Stakes Are National Security
This isn’t just about faster chatbots or cooler tech. It’s about beating China. The Action Plan frames the AI race as what it is: a national security imperative. And without a stable energy foundation, we lose.
We’re encouraged to see President Trump and his team taking these challenges seriously and responding with bold action.
Power The Future will continue doing what we’ve always done: telling the truth about energy, championing America’s workers, and helping shape a future built on strength, not surrender.
Let’s win this race. Let’s power it with American energy.
