## Resource

The rapid surge in energy demand from AI data centers and advanced manufacturing is pushing the American power grid to its limit, sparking a high-stakes race to secure the nation’s electrical future. This pressure on the grid is also impacting Americans, who have seen their energy bills increase significantly. Rep. Bob Latta (R-OH), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy, joins to discuss the necessity of an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy to maintain dispatchable power, how to keep energy bills down, and what must be done to ensure the United States outpaces China in the global competition for AI dominance. Plus, CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz joins to discuss his mission to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse related to Medicaid. PHOTO CREIDT: AP PHOTO Learn more about your ad choices.
