Just this week in its 15th Five-Year Plan, Beijing elevated AI to a “New Quality Productive Force.” This is Party-speak for turning Intelligence into a state-funded public utility. This vision is backed by a staggering surge in energy infrastructure. By the end of 2026,

AI Sovereignty Requires Massive Energy Infrastructure

This is a delusion.

It ignores a fundamental reality: being sovereign in a world reshaped by AI requires massive, high-density energy, not just intermittent green generation.
By adhering to Net Zero without an industrial base, British leaders are not reclaiming independence.… https://t.co/wXE9KJCTM0This is a delusion.

State Industrial Strategy vs Short-Term Energy Dependency Thinking
By

I concur, nonetheless, it is more illustrate of a State with a long-term industrial /sovereign strategy vs one with none. It's exactly this type of short-term thinking that now leads Britain to swap its fossil fuel dependency on Norway with a Green hardware/supply chain
