US/UK/EU can barely supply energy as it is today. A little will be added for AI, slowly. But good luck re-industrializing without any energy left while competing with China at 1/16th of energy cost. This has been brewing for decades and the people responsible are not going anywhere.

Also there is no spare grid and electricity generation is kind of in the middle of nowhere. Good luck with constructing a datacenter in there, and then having technical employees to maintain it. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for those plans. But it will take 5 to 10 years while China has a 15 year headstart.
