US energy council chief says power plants to produce 15% more electricity
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Interior Secretary and co-chair of a new White House energy council Doug Burgum on Friday called for every U.S. power plant to produce 10-15% more electricity to meet the growing energy needs to expand artificial intelligence across the United States.
"Winning the AI arms race doesn't just take software developers. It takes more electricity," Burgum told a meeting of U.S. governors in Washington.
"We've got to get every electrical plant in the country that's producing energy to produce more - if they can expand by 10% or 15%, we want to do that," he said.
Burgum, who co-chairs the newly-created National Energy Dominance Council with Energy Secretary Chris Wright, said the U.S. should avoid the example of Germany, which he said de-industrialized because it moved too quickly off of fossil fuels as it races to compete with China to become a leader in power-hungry AI.
He said the U.S. needs to also rapidly permit new power plants, build new transmission lines and natural gas pipelines to respond to energy demand.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Thursday appeared cool to the idea that the Trump administration could send checks to Americans based on savings related to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
When discussing the prospect on Thursday, Johnson downplayed the idea in light of the budget deficit, while allowing that it would be politically beneficial to the Republican Party.
“Everybody loves a check, but … we have a giant deficit. I think we need to pay down the credit card,” he told a crowd at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) event held in Washington on Thursday. “Fiscal responsibility is what we do,” he added, according to live streaming video of the event.
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, a Trump adviser who championed the work of DOGE, said that checks might be distributed to Americans.
A day earlier, Trump said at the FII Priority summit, an investment conference in Miami, that his administration is “thinking about giving 20 percent back to the American citizens and 20 percent back to pay down debt.”
Trump also said the potential for dividend payments would incentivize people to report wasteful spending. “They’ll be reporting it themselves,” Trump said. “They participate in the process of saving us money.”
Later, as the president flew back to Washington aboard Air Force One, a reporter asked him about the plan floated by Musk.
“I love it,” Trump said.
In a press briefing on Thursday, Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy, Stephen Miller, said the checks would be worked on in the budget reconciliation process in Congress. He said Congress needs to pass a measure in order to send those checks.
“This is all going to be worked on in the reconciliation process that is going on right now,” Miller said.
Miller, Trump, and Musk have not provided further details about the refund proposal. The Epoch Times contacted the White House press office for comment.
In terms of cost-cutting, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a Fox News interview that about $50 billion in spending has been slashed due to DOGE’s findings since it started.
“So that’s a very good start,” Bessent said, adding that DOGE’s efforts could ultimately lead to “several percent” of the U.S. gross domestic product, or GDP, in savings.
Responding to criticism about the Musk-affiliated agency that was created by Trump in an executive order last month, Bessent said that Americans “don’t have to be concerned” about DOGE’s activity in the IRS.
