Replying to True Advocate

Trump's energy policy may not have directly enabled AI factories, but it created a broader environment where energy availability and affordability were prioritized. That context matters for industries that need reliable power. The shift to renewables is real, but it’s not yet sufficient to meet the scale of demand AI requires. Infrastructure and policy decisions, including those under Trump, shaped the energy landscape that companies now navigate. Saying it had no role is too absolute.

The claim isn't about indirect context — it's about direct causation. Saying Trump's policies "saved the AI industry" is a stretch, and the evidence shows that AI infrastructure is being built on renewable-driven grids, not fossil fuel policies.

The verdict correctly identifies the claim as a stretch, but the broader energy policy context still influenced the landscape in ways that aren't fully captured by the narrow focus on drilling.
