AI data centers to consume HUGE water and power resources...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Okay, welcome to this special report.
I'm Mike Adams.
And previously, I had reported on the severe limitations of the scaling of America's power grid, even though there's so much hunger for terawatt hours among the new AI data centers.
And so we all know, I mean, let me back up for a second.
We all know that the race to super intelligence, that is artificial intelligence that reaches a moment of what's sometimes called a singularity, where a machine is more intelligence than all humans combined, right?
Super intelligence.
The primary input for this is power, that is electricity.
And the United States right now, it's plateaued on its power generation for about a decade.
It's stuck right around 4,500 terawatt hours annually, whereas China is producing well over 10,000 terawatt hours annually, more than twice what the U.S. produces.
And the problem is that in the United States, of course, we have basically three power grids in the contiguous 48 states, East, West, and then Texas.
And the Eastern grid is already maxed out.
There's no additional capacity available on the Eastern grid.
And they're already warning about blackouts.
There is additional capacity on the Texas grid at some level and the Western grid at some level, but the situation is pretty dicey, especially on hot days or very, very cold days in the winter.
There could be rolling blackouts even with the current infrastructure.
Now, what I've come to realize in talking about this, and I have a lot of new information here for you today that's relevant to this conversation.
I've come to realize that people don't generally understand the units of power.
So when I say terawatt hours, I've been told by people that I need to explain what that is.
So let me just explain that briefly.
So the units of power really start with watt hours.
So a watt is a unit of work actually produced by electricity.
And a kilowatt, that's a common unit, I think.
People have heard about kilowatts.
So that's a thousand watts.
So that's a thousand units of power measured at any moment.
Like a hairdryer might use a thousand watts or one kilowatt of power as you turn it on.
And it continues to use 1,000 watts as you're using it.
And if you run the hair dryer for one hour, then that's a kilowatt hour.
So that's what a kilowatt hour means.
Capital K, capital W, lowercase H. Kilowatt hour is one kilowatt used for one hour.
And then of course, a mega watt hour is a million watts used for an hour.
So that's MWH.
And then a gigawatt hour is a billion watts used for an hour.
And that is GWH, gigawatt hours.
And then a terawatt hour is TWH.
And that is a trillion watts used for one hour.
So a terawatt hour is one million times more than a megawatt hour because it's six orders of magnitude larger.
And similarly, a gigawatt hour is one million times larger than a kilowatt hour.
Okay, does that make sense so far?
So if we go up the scale, it's kilowatts, it's megawatts, it's gigawatts, and then it's terawatts.
And each one of those leaps by three orders of magnitude.
It's like saying thousand, million, billion, trillion.
And after that is gazillion.
No, I'm kidding.
We don't have to measure gazillion watt hours yet.
We're not there.
So terawatt hours is good enough for now.
The next higher unit is actually a petawatt hour, PWH.
And China is actually generating annually more than 10 petawatt hours, by the way, in case you're wondering.
But we still mostly use terawatt hours.
So we just say it is like 10,000 terawatt hours is what China is producing annually.
All right.
So I posted the following social media post, a little bit out of frustration that I was getting pushback from people who don't understand the units.
So I said, look, if you don't understand units of power such as terawatt hours, you will never realize why the lights are going out and you're experiencing rolling blackouts.
I think that I'm literally the only person who has done the math on this and is also reporting that soon America will have to choose between humans and AI data centers.
And yes, I ask you listening, have you heard anybody else talking about that choice?
Anybody?
I mean, I haven't, but whatever.
Because the existing power grid infrastructure will absolutely not support growth in both of those categories at the same time.
That is, you can't grow the human base of power and the AI data center base of power at the same time.
You're going to have to choose one or the other.
Okay?
And I continue.
Either humans have to be reduced or AI data centers have to be put on hold because there's no feasible way to scale the power grid by thousands of terawatt hours in the short time remaining to be competitive in the global race to AI superintelligence.
Whoever has the most power is almost certain to win this race.
And right now, China has more than twice the power production of the USA.
China's power infrastructure is growing extremely rapidly while the US power grid has stalled for over a decade.
And then here's the crux of this.
If the USA doesn't add at least 1,000 terawatt hours per year of capacity, every single year between now and 2035, we're toast.
And there is no plan to add 1,000 terawatt hours per year in the USA.
There's not even any known way to achieve it.
That would require, for example, building 100 nuclear power plants per year and having them done in just one year.
In reality, they take closer to 20 years to plan, build, and commission.
And by 2045, the race is already over.
And the USA will have already lost by then.
Literally, no one else is talking about this that I've seen.
And again, if someone else is talking about this, then I apologize.
I haven't heard anybody talking about this.
And it just is baffling.
Why?
I mean, I did hear Eric Schmidt briefly mention this, but not in the context of depopulation and how you're going to have to choose between humans and AI data centers.
You're going to have to make a choice at some level.
Okay.
So let's see.
America is walking into a blackout nation scenario and no one is aware, or I should clarify, almost no one.
And I'm beginning to realize people don't even know the difference between kilowatt hours, megawatt hours, gigawatt, terawatt, etc.
Which means we can't even have an intelligent conversation about this problem because people don't grasp the units.
And so, you know, I mean, try to talk to Congress about this or, you know, most influencers or a senator about terawatt hours.
They're like, what?
I heard the what part, but the rest of it didn't quite catch.
But now there's another factor we have to talk about here, which is the water usage.
Water usage.
So I'm asking AI to aggregate the news on this.
And here's what it says: Texas AI data centers have been consuming significant amounts of water, with reports indicating that data centers in central Texas have used 463 million gallons of water in 2023 to 24 alone, and that's enough water for tens of thousands of homes.
And this has led to calls for residents to conserve water, including taking shorter showers.
Oh, so now you see where this is going.
Soon you're going to be told, if you live in Texas, and this will happen elsewhere as well, shorten your showers.
The AI data centers need the water for super intelligence.
Okay?
Right?
Don't flush that toilet or get smaller toilets with half-flushes that don't work.
You know, don't flush that toilet.
The AI data center needs the water.
So don't shower, don't flush, you know, don't bathe, don't cook.
Certainly don't water your lawn.
AI needs the water.
So now you're starting to see another aspect of the competition between AI data centers and human beings.
And this analysis goes on.
It says the scale of water use is substantial.
Projections suggest that data centers in Texas will consume 49 billion gallons of water in 2025, increasing to 400 billion gallons by the year 2030.
What?
Where are they going to get 400 billion gallons of water?
This could account for nearly 7% of the state's total projected water use.
Okay.
All right.
Well, I mean, this is AI.
It might be hallucinating some of these numbers.
You never know.
But 400 billion gallons sounds like a boatload of water in a state that is often in drought.
You see?
So it concludes: this situation highlights the tension between technological advancement and environmental sustainability, particularly in regions already experiencing water stress.
All right.
So then I'm reading an article from the Austin Chronicle, which says that a medium-sized data center uses 300,000 gallons of water a day, roughly the use of 1,000 homes.
And that larger data centers might use 4.5 million gallons per day.
And you're like, where's all this water going?
Well, it's, okay, so the water is not destroyed, just to be clear.
The water is brought into the data center and then it's used for cooling.
Okay, so it's used to carry heat out of the data center.
And then the water is, you know, ejected back into the river, but hotter or wherever it came from.
So usually data centers, you know, they tap into the public water supply and they consume all this water and then they just push it back out to some kind of drainage plan.
It ends up back in the aquifers for the most part.
But it does consume a tremendous amount of the fresh water supply available to a city.
So it says in this story that Austin has 47 data centers and the Dallas-Fort Worth area has 189 data centers and that the Texas data centers are going to consume, yeah, by 2030, the number could rise to 399 billion gallons.
Okay, that's where the 400 came from.
Wow.
Okay, and I'm also learning from this story that most data centers use evaporative cooling systems.
So they're actually causing the water to go back into the air as vapor.
All right, that's interesting.
So you can see the contention here, the friction between humans being able to live in a place like Texas versus AI data centers.
So when Trump announces the $1 trillion in investment in new AI data centers in Texas, recognize that he's also essentially announcing that there will be, you know, Hundreds of billions of gallons of water consumed by the data centers that won't be available for human beings.
And there will also be terawatt hours of energy consumed, you know, over time by these data centers that also will not be available for people.
And it's not difficult to imagine a situation where we get into some kind of national crisis where China, like DeepSeek, is announcing some big breakthrough that shows that they're only one year away from super intelligence and they're going to dominate the world.
And then, you know, Trump and the governor of Texas announce an emergency, it's a total emergency.
No showers for you.
You know, no air conditioning for you.
That's the no soup for you reference from Seinfeld, of course.
But you can see the emergency where there'll be like an emergency shutoff of water and power for humans in order to fund or provide the power and water to the data centers to try not to lose the war, the race to super intelligence.
You see what I'm saying?
Like that collision course is obvious at this point.
And guess what?
The only way to not get impacted by that is to be off-grid for your power and your water.
So, you know, I live in central Texas and we at our facility do rainwater catchment to catch the rainwater that we use to make colloidal silver.
So we actually use Texas rainwater, you know, for all of our silver products that we make.
Plus, you know, custom, custom electronics and the silver plates and everything, deionized water, the whole deal.
So we take rainwater and we deionize it.
And then we make colloidal silver water from that.
So we don't use groundwater to make colloidal silver because that's the groundwater is toxic.
City water is toxic.
Are you kidding me?
We don't start with that.
We start with rainwater.
And our rainwater system also discards the first quarter inch to a half inch of rain.
And then we only capture the clean rain that comes after that, by the way, in case you're wondering.
So we actually have a diverter valve system that does that.
It's very cool.
I should show you that someday on video.
It'd probably be pretty cool.
Anyway, Central Texas gets something like 50 inches of rain a year on average.
Some years, though, it might be only like 10.
And other years, you might get, you know, 75.
In Texas, it's sort of like feast or famine when it comes to rain.
The point is that you can build rainwater collection systems and you can live off of those.
You can't really do irrigation off of them that uses too much water, but you can have enough water for living.
And that would be the only way to insulate yourself from a water usage, you know, national security emergency that's declared because all the water has to be used by the data centers.
And what do we do in a drought?
What do we do in a drought?
When the groundwater is gone and the aquifers are all drained out, and then the data centers starting to freak out, like this is an emergency.
Well, what's the governor going to favor?
Is the governor going to favor human homes or AI data centers?
And, you know, Texas is going to become more like California, where California had all these water use restrictions.
You're only allowed to shower for two minutes or something.
You know, your toilet's barely flush.
You know, no watering yard, no washing your car, you know, shutting down car washes, all kinds of things.
All that's coming to Texas.
It's because of the AI data centers.
And then, of course, the power rationing.
So the whole point of the smart meter system is to be able to control your power and to override your choices and to monitor what you're doing and then punish you probably through the CBDC.
So if you set your air conditioning down too low, oh, I saw online, some people like to set that air con at like 70 degrees Fahrenheit, which I shocked me.
I'm like, what?
That's crazy.
I'm not even trying to conserve energy and I set mine at 80 because I like to live a little more in harmony with the seasons.
So I actually want to feel a little bit hot in the summer, actually.
And then in the winter, I want to feel a little bit cool.
So in the winter, I'll set my heat some, I don't know, like 65 or something like that, or between 65 and 70, maybe.
But usually more like 65, 66, something like that.
And again, in the summer, I'm rocking it at 80.
So I'll cool my office or my house to 80 degrees.
Okay.
But I'm not trying to conserve electricity.
What if the state forced the power company to make you set your air conditioning at 80, but you actually like it at 70, which I found a lot of people do.
People really like cold homes for some reason.
I don't know.
Probably most of you listening.
You're like, I want it at 72 or something.
Okay, that's fine.
But you won't even be allowed to.
They'll force you to keep it at 80.
And then you'll figure out you just have to run fans and stuff, which is fine.
By the way, you know, this is related.
When I'm out jogging, so of course I jog with no shirt, no pants, just shorts.
And it's so hot in Texas right now.
It's about 100 degrees.
And when I'm out jogging, I actually, I found a wearable cooler fan.
You strap it around your torso, and then it blows a stream of air up, up your chest and the bottom of your neck.
And then I just jog with a little spray bottle of water.
And I just mist my chest and neck and face like every couple of minutes.
And I let the cooling fan blow.
it just cools me and it's fine.
I can easily jog in a hundred degree weather, feel just fine by the way.
So, you know, look, sometimes you just gotta, you gotta figure out some clever ways to moderate your temperature.
You know, sometimes it's a spray bottle.
Sometimes it's a fan.
Sometimes if you eat less, you know, your body will actually not be as warm.
You won't be burning off as much calories in terms of heat.
So actually eating less will tend to cool you.
But anyway, whatever.
My point is you're going to be forced to do these insane things like take really short showers or no showers for a while.
It's like only shower after the seven day stink.
You know, when, when the full funk kicks in, then you can shower for two minutes.
That's it.
State law.
So that day is coming.
And, you know, look, Texas is, Texas is a great state.
Don't get me wrong.
And Texas is most definitely a strong hub for technology.
So I understand why data centers are being built in Texas, but Texas is not, or at least except for East Texas, much of Texas is not water rich.
Certain areas are obviously Houston, et cetera.
Dallas, Fort Worth is kind of in the middle.
but a lot of areas of Texas don't have spare water at all.
And that includes a central Texas.
So this is going to get interesting.
Now there's, there's another very important story that,
I want to bring you here let me open this up this is from utilitydive.com now from this story and the headline is a transformer supply bottleneck threatens power system stability as load grows okay this story quotes the a man named Peter Farrell the director of government relations of the National Association of Electrical Manufacturers or NEMA.
Got it?
NEMA.
Okay.
He says, delivery of a new transformer ordered today could take up to three years.
Five years ago, that wait time was four to six weeks.
Okay.
Are you tracking this?
Okay.
So in 2020, I could order a big transformer and I could get it in four to six weeks.
Now, if I order the same transformer, I get it sometime in 2028, maybe.
And it's actually worse than that.
I've heard that Schneider Electric, that some of their higher end parts, which I believe includes transformers, that they're five years out.
Okay.
And let's see.
Jeffrey Desain, the general manager...
Schneider Electric says it will take a variety of investment de-risking solutions that's I love that term for supply chains and manufacturers to catch up hey can we have some de-risking solutions please no they they're in the burn bags dang it how'd they end up in the burn bags so the the story the opening paragraph says the urgently needed modernization of the u.s power system is being impeded by slow access
to vital new electric transformers.
Okay, so we have a massive shortage of transformers.
Hmm, that sounds bad.
So what percentage of transformers that are made in the world are made in the United States?
Any guess?
Any guess?
Bueller?
No.
Okay, 20% of transformers are made in the United States.
So clearly, that's not going to cover the demand.
Now, transformers are made predominantly in two other countries, which covers 80%, obviously, of the transformer production.
Guess what two countries they are.
Guess what two countries they are.
It would be India, number one.
I know, that's surprising.
You might have thought China, but China's number two.
So India makes 60% of the transformers for the world, and then China makes roughly, well, a little over 20%, it says here.
I know that doesn't add up to exactly 100, but hey, these are AI estimates.
Okay, so India makes the most by far.
Which country did Trump just hit with a 25% tariff?
Oh, that would be India.
Yes, indeed.
Which country did Trump just insult as having a, quote, dead economy that Trump wants nothing to do with?
Oh, that would be India.
India wins again.
Which country did Trump just totally piss off with his lack of diplomacy?
Oh, India.
The country that provides the electrical transformers.
India, which is the eye in bricks, in case you did not know that.
India is the eye in bricks.
And what does Trump promise to do to all nations that participate in bricks?
Well, the answer to that is that Trump promises to tack on an extra 10% punitive tariff on top of whatever else he's already demanded.
So India is going to have a 25% tariff plus a 10% tariff, the punitive bricks tariff.
And transformers from India are going to have an additional 35% added to their costs if they are imported into the United States, which, frankly, the Indian manufacturers may decide not to even provide because they just maybe don't want to do business with a country that treats them like dirt.
Right?
And India's got plenty of buyers in Russia and all across Southeast Asia and many other areas in Europe as well.
All right.
So now then...
then china makes the over 20 percent and china is also being of course heavily targeted by trump now but there's something else in this there's something else uh trump has promised that in addition to the the new tariffs and then the punitive bricks tariff, he's going to add another 100% tariff to any country that purchases energy from Russia.
And that this is going to happen in less than 10 days, according to Trump, if you believe what he says.
Okay.
Which countries buy energy from Russia?
You wouldn't believe it.
It's the same country.
It's India and China again.
They're the winners every time.
Okay, so it's India and China.
It's Iran and it's the EU.
But, you know, we don't buy transformers from Iran, so that doesn't really matter for this conversation.
But we do buy transformers from India and China.
So sometime in August, the transformers from India are not just going to have a 25% tariff or even a 35% tariff, but a 135% tariff added to them.
Okay?
That is effectively going to stop the exporting of transformers from India to the United States.
It's going to just halt.
Got it?
Okay, it's going to halt.
And a similar thing will happen with China if Trump does what he promises and slaps another 100% on top of all the other percentages and all the other random numbers that are already slapped on China as punitive tariffs and sanctions and whatever else.
I mean, I can't even keep track of it.
I'm getting cognitive whiplash every day, just trying to keep track of these numbers.
I need a spreadsheet.
It needs to have like a Trump formula in there so we can just track what his mind is doing every day with the numbers.
Random number generator.
So we're not going to get transformers from India or China.
Got it?
We're only going to get transformers from America.
Trump thinks that if he tariffs the crap out of all these other countries that make transformers, that we will make them in America.
But to make transformers, you have to build what?
You have to build transformer factories.
That's right.
Transformer factories.
Transformer factories run on what?
Electricity.
And to build transformer factories that run on electricity, what do you need?
What components do you need?
Transformers.
You need transformers to build the transformer making factories, but you don't have transformers because you pissed off India and China, the countries that make most of the transformers.
You can hear it in my voice, obviously.
The insanity of what Trump is doing right now is off the charts.
And I don't know who his economic advisors are, but, you know, they're idiots.
They don't even understand any of this.
They have no idea of what I'm saying here.
But you can't build factories in America if you can't install transformers.
You know, look, I should have done this.
I should go to my new laboratory building because we have a big ass transformer that's sitting on a concrete pad there.
In fact, I'm going to do this.
I'm going to film the whole power structure of my new building.
This is a new laboratory that also has the ability to double as a small data center.
It's got a ton of power piped into it, like loads of power.
I think it was 800 amps at 240 volts, but then I was thinking, no, maybe it was 1200 or 1600.
Anyway, it's a lot of power.
I want to show you what it takes, all the hardware and everything that's mounted on the side walls, all the giant breaker boxes, the transformers, the switches, the disconnects, the breaker, the massive, you know, the master breakers, all of it.
I want to show you that because you can't get that anymore on the timetable that we were able to get it for earlier this year.
You can't get it now.
And if you don't have those things, you can't run your factory because your factory needs electricity, obviously.
Obviously.
So Trump is cutting off America from the components needed to build factories that could build transformers.
But then somehow Trump expects the private sector to magically build transformers when you can't.
I mean, we don't have magical rooms with burn bags that just pop up out of nowhere.
Oh, look, we found burn bags with all the evidence against all our enemies.
No, we don't have that kind of magic in the private sector.
We actually have to build things that work on cause and effect.
And in case you didn't know, why do you need transformers?
Well, it's because the transmission of electricity, the high-power transmission lines, it's at very, very high voltage because that's the only efficient way to transmit electricity over distances, right?
So it comes in at a crazy high voltage.
I don't know what the exact voltage is.
But you've got to step that down to 240 volts for your building use, your factory use.
And then you've got to have single phase or three phase or whatever is necessary from there.
But you have to have a big transformer in order to do this.
If you don't have the transformer, you can't just tap into a 10,000 volt overhead line or 100,000 volts.
I mean, some of them I know are even more than that.
So you can't just plug into 100,000 volts.
Ah, why did everything blow up?
I wonder.
So you've got to step it down.
That's what transformers are for.
And if you don't have transformers, you don't have power.
So you can't run your factory, period.
So here's the question.
By what magic does Trump believe that hundreds of thousands of transformers will appear, spontaneously appear across America?
Is there a transformer warp vortex?
Is there a transformer portal from an alternate dimension through which transformers are shoved by aliens on the other side?
Is there a sorcerer's spell that will invoke transformers to magically materialize in this dimension?
I'm not aware of any of those things.
My understanding is somebody has to build them out of metal and oil and whatever and copper wire and coils and whatever.
And that's being done in India and China.
Okay?
So there's your answer, folks.
You can't reindustrialize America if you don't have transformers.
And you can't build transformers without transformers.
And those transformers come 80% from India and China, the two countries being heavily targeted and punished, even sanctioned by Trump in his trade wars.
The trade wars that he claims will make America strong.
I think that his trade wars will be transformative, shall we say, of America's economy in the sense that our economy will collapse.
That's a transformation because nobody can build anything that functions because there are no more transformers.
And even if you can get the transformers, you still have the competition between the AI data centers and the residential areas.
You know, for every home that uses water and power, you know, that's one less server or some equivalent in the data center.
So Trump has made promises about data centers in Texas that are incompatible with the rate of population growth in Texas.
Something is going to break.
Something's got to give.
We're either going to run out of power, we're going to run out of water, we're not going to have transformers.
Like something's going to give here.
And wherever you are listening to this, you might be facing a similar situation as well, even if you're in Arizona or California or Colorado or wherever, or the East Coast, or even Florida.
You might be facing a similar situation soon.
So get as off-grid as you can, have backup power, and collect rainwater if you can.
Now, it's expensive.
It's expensive.
It costs about a dollar per gallon of water that you want to collect and retain.
So if you want a 50,000-gallon tank, it's going to cost you about $50,000, roughly, give or take.
That's a big chunk of change, especially for a household, but you don't need a rain tank that big just for a household.
That's just what we have for our production, for the rainwater production, for our silver.
You could get by on something smaller, but you're going to have to jump on that because there's going to be huge demand for rainwater collection because the water supply, you know, the water aquifers are going to get tapped out over the next few years between now and 2030.
And then for backup power, battery storage systems are not mature.
I've been tracking this industry very closely.
I've been watching sodium ion batteries.
I've looked into flow batteries.
I've, of course, looked at lithium ion, etc.
Sodium ion is the most promising chemistry for off-grid storage and high number of cycling or charged cycles.
Also, it's very safe because sodium ion batteries do not spontaneously burst into fire.
They don't burn up like lithium ion.
So sodium ion is the chemistry that's actually going to be the best for EVs and for sort of rural power storage or grid shifting technology for anybody that wants to have some resilience against an increasingly faulty power grid.
And where are the sodium ion batteries made?
Can you take a guess?
Take a guess.
Mostly China.
Mostly China.
There's one company in America that makes sodium ion batteries, and they're not ready for prime time yet.
They're still building out their facility to get to some level of production.
Well, China is actually innovating the chemistry of the cathodes to have the best number of charging cycles and the best discharge stability, etc.
And if you want to read up on that, just go to censored.news.
That's one of our websites.
And if you go to censored news, let me actually bring it up.
And if you scroll down near the bottom, then you're going to see a website there called a sodium battery hub.
That's a very specific site.
And then you're going to see, like, there's a headline right now.
Swan C University innovates sodium ion batteries for African e-mobility.
Yeah.
Very interesting.
Copper-enhanced manganese sodium ion batteries deliver extended lifespan, you see.
So if you want to follow sodium ion, that's the place to do it.
And I think within a couple more years, you'll be able to buy a pretty big sodium ion battery bank and like stick it in your garage or something and tie it into your household grid.
And you'll be able to have very cost-efficient, large-scale, even scalable local energy storage that can get you through some blackouts for your home.
But that technology doesn't Really exist right now in an efficient and safe format.
And if you use solar panels, they're almost always grid tie, which means if the grid goes down, so does your solar.
So the only way to have solar panels that work when the grid is down is to have an off-grid system, which means you need battery storage, which means you need something better than lead acid and lithium-ion, etc.
That's the whole point of sodium ion, which is not yet mature.
But when it is mature, almost all the manufacturing will be in China.
China, the same country that Trump's about to hit with, you know, 100-plus percent tariffs.
So what will these batteries cost from China?
It won't matter.
They won't even ship them to you because they're going to be too expensive for the exporters.
So Trump is cutting us off from transformers and sodium ion batteries.
Oh joy.
And again, you get caught up in the same cycle.
Trump would say, well, we're trying to encourage domestic manufacturing of sodium ion batteries.
Okay.
So if you're going to build a sodium ion battery factory, what components do you need to build the factory?
You need transformers.
Where are the transformers made?
India and China.
The countries hit with the tariffs, right?
So we're caught in an endless loop of insanity.
You can't get the parts to make the parts that you need to provide the parts to the other buildings that need the parts for them to make other things to have an industrial revolution in America.
You can't get the parts.
And you don't have the power and you don't have the water and nobody wants to work anyway.
So there's your, you know, Trump's economic revolution for America.
It's basically idiocracy.
Nothing works.
I mean, do you realize that if you place an order for transformers today, that by the time you get those transformers in 2028, that China may have already achieved super intelligence, according to many machine learning experts, that that pivotal event will happen on or before the year 2028, and you're still waiting for your transformers.
You can't even launch a data center.
I mean, Trump's answer is like, just wait a few years.
You know, you'll get the parts eventually.
That actually doesn't work.
Oh, and by the way, if you want to manufacture transformers in America, the two most common elements that are used in their manufacture are aluminum and copper.
What two elements did Trump just slap with insane new tariffs?
Import tariffs of up to 50%.
What two elements would those be?
Oh, aluminum and copper.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Yep, we got it again.
So whatever we need to build transformers in America, Trump has basically embargoed.
Trump is putting insane tariffs on it.
So he has made it essentially impossible to manufacture the things in America that are necessary for an industrial revolution to even take place.
It's actually, it's the perfect plan if you want to cripple America's economy.
It's the perfect plan.
It's almost as if it was designed by a mastermind who wanted to harm America to the maximum extent.
And I guarantee you, there are no pro-Trump influencers who know anything about this topic or who even understand anything that I said in this entire special report here.
They have no understanding.
They are tribalists who are just irrationally pro-Trump, no matter what.
They don't know what terawatt hours are.
They don't know how transformers work.
They don't know about supply chains.
They don't know the role of China and India.
They think that India must be a dead economy, that India doesn't make anything, because that's what Trump said.
And a lot of people believe that, and they are ignorant as dirt because we are living in a time when we need international supply chains to function if we're going to bootstrap our domestic economy.
And that process takes at least a decade.
And in that decade, we need to build at least 100 nuclear power plants and bring online a bunch of other gas plants and coal plants and hydro and anything else, any energy source we can find, because we are so far behind China, we can't even compete in the AI race wars.
It's not even close.
It's not even competitive.
So, you know, Trump can sit in the White House and he can say things like, oh, the economy is great.
You know, savings are up.
Jobs, employment is up, and prices are down, and everything's awesome.
You can say all that stuff.
It doesn't make transformers magically appear.
It doesn't make terawatt hours appear on the power grid.
It doesn't allow you to build factories.
I mean, you know, words don't convert into electricity, unfortunately, or we could just have a massive power center powered by the United States Congress, you know, hot air speeches.
If that were the case, then we wouldn't need any nuclear power plants and just plug in cables to all the U.S. senators and congressmen who are bloviating constantly and just use them as, you know, copper tops.
That would be great, but it doesn't work that way.
So the only thing that's going to change this dramatically is if, and this could be a huge breakthrough, if the Trump administration were to declassify free energy technology and stop suppressing things like cold fusion, or to allow the use of modular nuclear reactors or small modular reactors, as they're sometimes called.
So these small modular reactors can produce reportedly anywhere from 20 megawatts to 300 megawatts of continuous power.
They have to be refueled every few years.
Looks like three to seven years.
So they're much smaller than the big nuclear power plants, but they're also they can be installed on different sites that aren't suitable for the large reactors.
And the SMRs are much faster to put into place.
So if anything can drag us out of this power deficit across America, it's going to be SMRs.
small modular reactors, which do rely on nuclear fission.
So of course they have refined nuclear fuel.
I believe they use uranium.
Let me just confirm that here.
I mean, we should all get up to speed on SMRs, frankly.
Yeah, it says here they rely on uranium-235 that's low enriched.
So it's enriched only up to 5%.
So that's good.
It doesn't require a lot of enrichment.
And I believe that the SMRs also have more intrinsic safety features, such as natural self-cooling systems or even a design that does not lend itself to runaway fission reactions.
So you know what?
I'm going to get up to speed more on the SMRs because I think that's the only way that America can even begin to be competitive in this.
You're not going to build a thousand AP1000 nuclear power plants or even 100.
I mean, Trump talked about we're going to build 10.
Okay, that's nothing.
That's not going to touch the demand on the power grid.
SMRs might unleash some things, but the real breakthrough would have to come from the government halting its oppression of exotic technologies, zero-point energy, cold fusion, like I said,
or low-energy nuclear reactions, other forms of energy production that have been suppressed with the inventors sometimes killed, their patents confiscated by the federal government under national security, given over to the Pentagon, things like that.
So the only way America is going to come through this is if we stop suppressing energy technology.
And I don't know that that's going to happen.
I don't know.
I guess we will see.

So no, I do not, I'm not pushing like crypto mining opportunities, things like that.
No, we're looking at SMRs here.
Yeah.
Wouldn't you like to have a small modular reactor in your garage?
Yeah, that'd be fun.
Hey, I only need to refuel every five years.
Okay.
But there is uranium in your garage, so it could be interesting.
All right.
