Governments should prioritize expanding power grids rather than restricting data centers, according to Fortune, arguing that grid investment supports technological growth and economic development while avoiding bottlenecks that data center limits could create. The recommendation comes as power availability emerges as a key constraint on data center buildouts tied to AI and crypto infrastructure. The article, reported by Crypto Briefing, frames grid expansion as the alternative to restrictive policies on data center energy use. What to watch next is whether policymakers adopt grid investment targets in place of caps on data center power consumption.
