What is your take on AI data centers and their impact on the grid?

You folks are in the thick of it so I trust your opinion on this topic. i also enjoy the humor this sub offers.

I'm curious, what are your thoughts on the current state of the US power grid and how will AI data centers impact it?

There are plans for the rapud development of datacenters. Do we have the infrastructure to support it?

Is the grip supply chain heavily dependent on foreign countries?

If anyone has an Oregon specefic perspective, that would be appreciated too.

Thanks in advance and thank you for keeping the lights on. You are all under-appreciated heroes in my book.
