Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is pushing for the construction of new data centers to fuel the nation’s artificial intelligence ambitions in competition against China.
Mr. Burgum, who also leads President Trump’s National Energy Dominance Council, believes the U.S. has a technological advantage but “China is winning on electricity.”
“We’re going to ’map, baby, map’ to figure out where all these resources are and then we’re going to ’mine, baby, mine’ so we can ’build, baby, build’ because we got to build AI data centers,” he said in an interview that aired Saturday.
Making sure America does not lose the global technological arms race is on the agenda for the National Energy Dominance Council, Mr. Burgum told the Hill & Valley Forum last week.
“We can win the AI arms race with China, we can have enough power to power our cities, we can build grid security, we can support all of you, and we can get back in the game where we’re not relying on imports for all of the things because we’ve shut down American development across all of our public lands,” Mr. Burgum said at the Hill & Valley Forum.
