Headline moment: Nate Franklin on AI, energy, and national strategy
On the main stage, Nate Franklin (Founder & Chairman, Pacifico Energy) joined a conversation on “AI, Energy and National Security: A Conversation At the Crossroads.” The discussion zeroed in on how rapidly scaling AI demand intersects with U.S. reliability, permitting, and speed-to-power timelines. The clear message: AI growth will be gated by energy availability, density, and uptime—not just chips.
Why it matters now
Pacifico Energy recently introduced GW Ranch, a purpose-built 5-GW off-grid power campus in West Texas targeting 1 GW by 2028 and 5 GW by 2030. The project emphasizes N+2 reliability, multiple fuel pathways, and large-scale storage to support hyperscale compute while bypassing interconnection bottlenecks. For operators with 12–36 month build windows, this “speed-to-power” model is moving quickly from concept to requirement.
