AI data centers are coming — and they could transform your job, your electric bill, your community, and your ability to build wealth. Behind this explosive race to control AI are secret NDAs, massive power demands, CIA-backed investments, and deals worth billions. But what aren't Americans being told about AI? Politicians like AOC and Bernie Sanders warn these massive AI data centers could pollute communities, overwhelm power grids, and send utility bills soaring. President Trump, Elon Musk, and others say AI data centers could create thousands of jobs, generate unprecedented local wealth, and even eliminate property taxes entirely. So which is it — and how can you tell whether the AI data center coming to your town will make your community richer or leave residents paying the price? Then there's China. Is Beijing fueling America's darkest fears about AI to convince us to surrender the most consequential technology race in modern history? Or are legitimate health, environmental, and financial risks being buried beneath the promise of unlimited AI prosperity? Trevor Neilson, president of Prometheus Hyperscale, builds AI data centers across America. He separates the legitimate risks from the political fearmongering and explains what every community should demand before one of these massive AI projects breaks ground in its backyard. He also reveals what the AI revolution will mean for American jobs, national security, personal wealth, and the next decade of human life. AI will create extraordinary wealth, destroy entire categories of work, and generate opportunities that do not exist today. The winners will learn how to harness AI, multiply their value, and move before everyone else understands what is happening. The losers will ignore AI until it replaces them. Here's how to get ahead instead of left behind. To Support The Show Please Consider LIKING, SUBSCRIBING, and dropping a COMMENT to join the conversation!
