Dark times ahead? AI and Bitcoin Strain U.S. Power Grid, Risking Blackouts

Doug McIntyre discusses how the rapid increase in electricity demand from AI and Bitcoin mining is straining the U.S. power grid. As these two industries vie for more power, the grid’s ability to handle the load is being tested, which, in some areas, could lead to grid failures, resulting in blackouts or complete power outages. The growing demand for electricity from emerging technologies poses a significant risk to the stability of the power system, and if this issue continues, major U.S. cities could face extended periods without power.
