The joke of the Grok AI is how it’s generating power in one of the least cost efficient manners possible.
Musk is just burning a ton of short term capital to avoid lobbying Mississippi (fucking Mississippi, the most easy state to bend over a rail with lobbyists in the country) for a hard-line to the existing grid and some upgrades to capacity funded on the public dime.
That’s what you get to do as a trillionaire. Make stupid business decisions and then dump the turd onto your investors when they want to invest in your lucrative network of federal Pentagon contracts.
Doesn’t really matter if you have local production if it goes on the global market. One global price set by global supply and demand. What happens in the middle east drives the price up in Michigan.
You also have a ton of domestic oil. The only reason fuel prices are up in the US is because the market is global so American companies can sell it abroad.
Either issue could be solved if Trump had the balls to forbid American companies to sell oil and gas abroad. But that’s not gonna happen now is it.
No they won’t. Natural gas turbines baybee.

Not if Trump keeps Hormuz fucked.
Trump already won that war 20 times. So it’s probably all fine.
Our oil and refinery situation in the US is fucked, but we have a ton of domestic natural gas.

It’ll cost more, but polluting our country is more important above all.
