And we're going to be publishing that from the White House to the National Energy Dominance Council.

The Department of Energy doing great work on that, but a lot of the higher prices that you're seeing are not related to the AI data centers.

A lot of the AI data centers are going to be off the grid behind the meter and then producing, adding more energy and then putting some of that energy onto the grid.

So we could be actually increasing the supply in some of those areas where we've got increased pricing.

It's because of the policies they pursued the last five years.

of having unreliable, intermittent, and highly subsidized projects, including things like offshore wind, where people were spending $11 billion to create one gigawatt of intermittent, versus spending one or two billion dollars to create

one gigawatt of assured seven by 24 hour power.

So the policy choices of the last five years driven by sometimes climate extremists were the ones that were that were that are driving up the prices you're seeing.

I mean, electricity costs three times as much in New England as it does in North Dakota.

That is not that is not because of data centers.

That's because of policies.

The rule changes announced by the Trump administration are similar to ones put in place during Trump's first term.

And the goal, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in a statement, is to restore the Endangered Species Act to its original intent by protecting species and respecting the livelihoods of Americans who depend on land and natural resources.

Wildlife groups say the proposed changes to threaten species protections, to habitat protections, and a proposed cost-benefit analysis of listing a species will harm the country's already at-risk plants and animals and are just another giveaway to fossil fuel companies and other extractive industries.

They're promising to sue when the proposals are formalized.
