I think one of the highest-leverage U.S. economic strategies right now is to maximize the upside from the AI data-center boom.

That means reducing any bottlenecks around not just data-center construction, but also adjacent industries like power generation and transmission.

If the U.S. can scale the infrastructure around AI faster than other countries, it can gain a decisive economies of scale advantage in numerous industries that could lead to export boom.

When you say "it", I suspect it will pan out to American Elites, as opposed to America the nation, or Americans the people.
If you look at countries that have experienced export booms, you see broad-based wage gains correlated with it.
