AI compute is running into a power wall. 

China’s grid already closing on XXXXXX TWh, while the United States has sat near XXXXX TWh for two decades WikipediaU.S. 

If training and serving bigger models keeps eating watts at the current pace, that flat U.S. line could matter more than any parameter count.

China’s curve rockets upward because the country kept adding coal, wind, and solar at break-neck speed, lifting generation six-fold since 1999. The U.S. line crawls sideways, topping out just after 2010 and hovering around the same XXXXX TWh ever since.

China’s burst came with a huge build-out of renewables, yet coal still carries most of the load, so every extra terawatt-hour is easy to tap for compute.
