AI’s explosive growth is reshaping America’s electric grid. In this AIxEnergy conversation, host Michael Vincent and energy economist Brandon Owens explore how state policies can ensure fairness as data centers drive massive power demand. Owens explains that while tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft insulate themselves through private energy deals, households face rising bills. Using examples from Maryland, Texas, and Georgia, he argues that policy—not technology—determines who pays.

The takeaway: smart governance can turn the AI power surge from a social burden into a public good.
