You can take a kilowatt of electricity and turn it into intelligence.

President Trump understands that.

His policy is going to work for both winning the arms race and for keeping electricity affordable for Americans.

Absolutely, because if it's off the grid, it's not putting any burden on the grid itself, and it's not putting any pressure on rate payers.

Matter of fact, in North Dakota, when I was still governor there just 15 months ago, we were completing a $1.2 billion data center.

And the electricity rates were going to go down for all the people there because you're spreading the cost across a big industrial buyer in a rural area.

So there are ways where you can add capability, add a big power user like that.

And if you do it the right way, it actually brings power down.

So it's only people that would be opposed to...

for other reasons, including the climate extremists, would come up with a story that says that artificial intelligence is going to raise your rates automatically.

That's only with the wrong policies.

With the right policies, they'll stay the same or go down.

Yes, well, but again, we're in recovering new territory.

And we're going to see incredible capital flows around the world.

And those capital flows, record capital flows, are going to go to places that have ample, affordable, reliable, and secure power.

And that's going to be countries, and it's going to be states within those countries, within Europe.

It may be certain countries as opposed to all of the EU countries.

Secretary Chris Wright and I today met with 21 energy ministers from Central and Eastern Europe.

Again, the race is on.

People that have sensible energy policies that focus on affordable, reliable, and secure energy are going to see a boom in investment going forward.
