At a summit at Carnegie Mellon University<\/a> on Tuesday this week, President Donald Trump will gather Big Oil CEOs and the heads of several artificial intelligence giants in a nightmarish affair to discuss how to accelerate the use of fossil fuels to power AI. In response, Tyson Slocum, director of Public Citizen\u2019s Energy Program<\/strong>, issued the following statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump\u2019s radical AI agenda entails abusing emergency authorities to usurp state and local laws to accommodate Big Oil and Big Tech\u2019s profits at the expense of everyone else. While no public interest consumer or environmental groups are invited, the president and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute are slated to speak, along with EQT\u2019s Toby Rice, and the CEOs of ExxonMobil (Darren Woods), Shell (Wael Sawan), Chevron (Mike Wirth), OpenAI (Sam Altman), Meta (Mark Zuckerberg), Microsoft (Satya Nadella) and Alphabet (Sundar Pichai) are on the guest list.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump\u2019s scheme is to abuse an array of emergency powers to force communities to host energy-gobbling AI data centers by designating such facilities and all associated energy infrastructure as national security assets, thereby crushing any state and local zoning laws and other public health and safety protections. Trump\u2019s actions will promote dirty natural gas and coal as the fuel of choice, which will raise Americans\u2019 energy bills while contaminating the environment. Trump\u2019s agenda will put Big Tech in control of America\u2019s AI policy, despite the industry\u2019s widespread abuses. Trump\u2019s radical AI plan is yet another example of the President siding with powerful corporations ahead of the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
