The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article in the attached image reads in part:
On the eve of a major summit focusing on artificial intelligence and the energy that will drive it, the city's tech startup leaders held a "preview event" at autonomous trucking startup Aurora Monday to showcase precisely why Pittsburgh was chosen to host such a pivotal event.
The city's startup brains and investment brawn met the same day that Republican Sen. Dave McCormick announced a minimum of $75 billion in energy and AI infrastructure dollars into Pennsylvania, with details to be revealed at Tuesday's summit at Carnegie Mellon University.
"Some of the money starts flowing immediately, some in the next couple of years," Mr. McCormick said Monday.
That money will fuel the development of data centers, energy infrastructure, the transition from coal to gas and other major energy projects and skilled labor, he said in an interview with KDKA radio.
While the influx of cash into AI development and all the jobs that come with it is interesting news, note also that the investments will be fueling, as the Post-Gazette notes, the transition from coal to gas in electrical generation. That's significant, far beyond the AI and data center projects; natural gas is cleaner than coal, with higher energy density. AI and associated data centers are notoriously energy-hungry, so we can expect not only this energy source transition but also, hopefully, a general upgrade of the grid.
The implications of this go far beyond the AI and data centers, far beyond the grid upgrades. Any new AI and data centers will produce not only skilled jobs required to staff those facilities, but also an economic boom to the entire region. Every new job will spark more investment, more local businesses, from gas stations to movie theaters to restaurants.
It's not inconceivable that this part of the Rust Belt could be transformed into an AI Belt.

In related news, Google is announcing a $25 billion investment in data centers and AI infrastructure.
Alphabet’s Google will invest $25 billion in data center and artificial intelligence infrastructure over the next two years in states across the biggest electric grid in the U.S., the technology company said Tuesday.
Google will also spend $3 billion to modernize two hydropower plants in Pennsylvania to help meet the growing power demand from data centers and AI in the region, according to the company.
Artificial Intelligence, despite concerns about it, is clearly the future. The United States should stay ahead of the curve; this is the kind of thing America can and should excel at. We, not China, not anywhere else, should be leading the world in this kind of development. The Trump administration plainly gets that.
Nope. Still not tired of winning.
