One U.S. City Explores Building Independent Energy Grid to Avoid Blackouts

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that the city of Ann Arbor, Michigan, is exploring the creation of a fully independent energy grid. This innovative and potentially costly project would allow the city to generate and distribute its own power, protecting residents and businesses from the strain caused by AI processing, air conditioning demand, and crypto mining. McIntyre suggests this could be a trend, with other cities possibly pursuing energy independence to avoid blackouts and power shortages.
