President Donald Trump presented the World Economic Forum with his desire to power the U.S. AI revolution: behind-the-meter generation co-located with data centers and built rapidly under his National Energy Emergency executive order.
Trump's nominees for energy and interior secretary cleared the ENR committee on bipartisan votes and now head to the floor where Senate leadership has been working to approve his cabinet picks.

President Trump's executive orders on energy are not enough on their own for the industry to meet the rising demand for AI and data centers, and experts say another attempt at permitting reform is needed.
The order does not affect existing onshore or offshore wind leases, but it sets up potential challenges by directing a comprehensive review.
