At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, where elites have blathered for years about net zero and energy transition to renewables, President Donald Trump had a message all his own. He tackled one of the defining questions of this decade: how to power both a 21st-century economy and an emerging age of artificial intelligence. His answer was blunt and unmistakable.

The United States, he said, is “going heavy into nuclear.” His administration will move to approve new energy projects within “three weeks,” expanding his long-standing promise of American energy dominance to meet the exponential power demands of the AI revolution.
