Trump’s AI plan is a massive handout to gas and chemical companies

The Trump administration's new AI action plan and executive orders aim to deregulate the fossil fuel and chemical industries, providing them with incentives to rapidly expand data centers, power plants, pipelines, and computer chip factories. The plan appears to prioritize the interests of these industries over environmental protection and renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Critics argue that the proposals are a "nightmare" for the environment and a "massive handout" to gas and chemical companies, rolling back bedrock environmental safeguards in the process. The article suggests that the administration's vision for AI infrastructure in the US is heavily skewed towards benefiting traditional energy sectors rather than promoting sustainable, environmentally-conscious technological development.
