> Apparently the US simply never had a plan to achieve that, and amazingly it still isn't part of the conversation around AI power. Instead they're just claiming the best parts of the existing power systems and passing the costs onto local consumers.

I wonder if this is more of a cultural thing, meaning Western cultures being more aligned to short-term gains instead of long-term gains.
