- The "energy fairness" problem: Who foots the bill for infrastructure upgrades?

- How smart energy tools (like his AI platform Lumen) could help balance demand

- Why engineers must think beyond technical skills to solve this crisis

For STEM professionals and policymakers navigating the AI-energy collision.
