IBM Quantum Ambassador Harry Munroe frames the decade as two parallel challenges: abundant clean energy, and strong AI we can control and keep aligned with our interests. Progress on either one, he argues, makes the other easier. U.S. energy independence sits on that same track.

The full episode is the context.

Nick Schutt and Harry also get into:
• Why the U.S. is really three grids (West, East, Texas/ERCOT)

• Real-time supply and demand, and why 60Hz stability matters

• Data centers drawing 10 to 100+ MW, with cooling at 30 to 40%

• Nuclear offtake, solar plus storage, and second-life batteries

• Quantum for materials and grid optimization, not hype

No panic pitch. Just the infrastructure conversation under the model conversation.
