We still need all the grid enhancements, just not for the data centers communities don’t want.

In many places if people charge their car and run the AC on a hot day the grid struggles. So the grid investment won’t go unused if AI implodes.

True but they are often not the same enhancements. DCs are often placed in the middle of nowhere because people don't want them in their backyard (for good reason!).

But that infra in the middle of nowhere doesn't necessarily benefit consumers charging their cars.
