The Golden Age of the U.S. – Why Europe Doesn’t Realize What’s Coming
You can argue it any way you like, but one thing’s clear: the world economy is at a turning point... and the United States is once again taking the lead.
Take Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz, as a symbol of Europe’s current mindset: clinging desperately to outdated industrial structures... auto, steel, chemicals - while burdened by self-inflicted energy costs. Europe is fighting to preserve the past while the future is unfolding elsewhere.
The truth is blunt: the power in this new era will lie with those who control energy - cheap energy. And that train has largely left the station for Europe.
After choking its own tech industry with overregulation and bureaucracy, Europe has already forfeited the AI race. But now, even the infrastructure behind that future - data centers, AI platforms, and crypto - is slipping away too. These systems demand massive amounts of energy, and cheap energy is not something Europe can offer anymore.
While European regulators debate whether AI and crypto are “climate friendly” and dream of locking innovation behind metaphorical Duracell batteries, the U.S. and China are scaling up. Fast.
Let’s be honest: the race is down to two players... China and the United States.
Europe is out. Sound familiar?
