This book examines the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence through the lens of its physical backbone—data centers—and the immense energy systems that sustain them. Bringing together technical analysis, economic considerations, and federal policy frameworks, the book explores how AI infrastructure is reshaping electricity demand, regulatory environments, and national strategy. It provides a comprehensive overview of cloud computing architecture, energy consumption patterns, permitting requirements, tax incentives, and emerging legislative responses. This book offers a structured understanding of how the United States is building—and governing—the energy-intensive foundation of the AI era.
