5:11Now PlayingBlackouts and power outages could be 100 times more common in the U.S. in just five years, according to a Department of Energy Report released this week. It found that rising demand and an aging power generation infrastructure threaten U.S. capacity.
It comes as energy prices are now rising faster than inflation, and as the U.S. Energy Information Administration projects record power demand in 2025 and 2026, thanks in part to the rapid rise of AI data centers.
