Why the U.S. Uses Only Half of Its Grid Capacity

The U.S. is currently operating only half of its potential grid capacity, which could lead to a shortfall in meeting future electricity demands driven by expanding data centers and domestic manufacturing. While building new power plants and transmission lines seems straightforward, experts like Ian Magruder suggest there are more efficient and innovative solutions. This situation is crucial because a failing to adapt could result in power outages and economic disruptions, highlighting the need for smarter, more flexible energy strategies.
