Electricity demand on the largest U.S. grid is poised to rise so fast thanks to the AI boom that it’ll be the equivalent of installing two New England networks in the coming decade.

PJM Interconnection LLC, which manages the 13-state system stretching from Washington DC to Illinois, expects peak summer demand to jump by nearly 58 gigawatts, or 38%, to about 210 gigawatts in 2035 from last year’s high, according to a report. The jump is more than double the peak demand record on the New England grid.

Some individual facilities planned would guzzle enough energy to power entire cities, according to the report.

While both the Biden Administration and now President Donald Trump have declared the need to deploy AI for national security and economic interests, the massive surge in expected power demand will likely strain aging U.S. electric infrastructure.

No naked flyers

Budget carrier Spirit Airlines quietly updated its contract of carriage last week to include a more thorough dress code — which caught at least some unsuspecting travelers unawares.

The new section says that flyers will not be allowed to board or may be removed from an aircraft if they are, “barefoot or inadequately clothed,” and includes a list of examples of what could be deemed inappropriate.

The list includes see-through clothing, being inadequately covered, and exposed breasts, buttocks, or other private parts. It suggests the “no shoes, no shirt, no service” clothing policies often found at restaurants are increasingly being applied on planes, too.

The dress code also includes those, “whose clothing or article, including body art, is lewd, obscene, or offensive in nature.”
