US President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the National Energy Dominance Council, tasked with developing electricity production to surpass China in the field of artificial intelligence.The White House announced that the council will coordinate energy policy, facilitate the permitting process, and oversee the production and distribution of various energy resources.Data centers consume significant amounts of energy, and their importance has grown with the development of generative artificial intelligence, which requires massive computational power to process information stored in vast databases.This executive order follows President Trump's earlier declaration of an ‘energy emergency’ upon his return to the White House, aimed at boosting oil and gas production in the United States to lower prices for Americans.
