Glenn Beck Asks Kevin O'Leary Your Biggest Data Center Questions
"In the last 18 months, the Chinese using primarily coal burning turbines because they don't care about the environment or do they need a permit. The big guy says put one here and that's how it happens. They've built 400 gigawatt of new power for China, its economy, and its efforts to dominate AI. How many have we built that's new in America? Zero."
Kevin Olirri revealed a stark disparity in AI infrastructure development, stating China has added 400 gigawatts of new power generation in 18 months specifically for AI and economic competitiveness, while the United States has added none. Olirri, who has worked with China since their 2000 WTO entry, framed this as a critical national security vulnerability in the AI race. He argues data centers must bring their own power generation to solve America's grid capacity crisis.
