The discussion explored the implications for U.S. energy infrastructure, energy security, and international competitiveness, with particular attention to the roles of nuclear energy, natural gas, renewables, and energy efficiency. Key issues included financing new power generation, addressing supply chain constraints, and integrating energy infrastructure into U.S. AI export strategies. The program emphasized that sustaining U.S. leadership in AI will require reliable electricity supplies, long-term investment, and stronger international cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-thumbnail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/QA-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-id=\"7720\" src=\"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/QA-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7720\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/speakers7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" data-id=\"7718\" src=\"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/speakers7-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/speakers7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/speakers7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/speakers7-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/speakers7-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/speakers7-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/speakers7-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/speakers7-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/speakers7-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/speakers7-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/networking18.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" data-id=\"7721\" src=\"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/networking18-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/networking18-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/networking18-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/networking18-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/networking18-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/networking18-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/networking18-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/networking18-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/networking18-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/networking18-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/audiences3-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"2268\" data-id=\"7722\" src=\"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/audiences3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7722\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Global America Business Institute (GABI) hosted a Congressional Program examining the growing electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence (AI), data centers, and broader economic electrification.
