Editor’s Note: We usually keep our content focused on the Magic Valley since that is our mission. But with this juggernaut just launched out of Washington, DC, we are making an exception. We have to. Because Trump’s AI Action Plan Initiatives are about to fundamentally revolutionize everything, and in ways we have yet to grasp — at the local, state and federal level, in education, diplomacy, medicine, science, defense, manufacturing, finance, trade, energy, and so much more.
Before reading further, I urge you to read and reread Trump’s Winning the Race: America’s AI Action Plan. And share this.
As was said, AI.GOV will affect us, right here in the Magic Valley. This Substack from Magic Valley’s own Sen. Glenneda Zuiderveld (Dist. 24) shows ai.gov is already impacting our state.
I recently reshared a post from my friend Jeff Pierson after a town hall in Jerome Idaho about a new nuclear energy project. His summary made one thing clear: the presentation by Sawtooth Energy and Development Contractor was full of polished talk but short on answers. The message was simple: “Trust the process.”
That got me thinking.
AI (artificial intelligence) demands massive amounts of energy. Nuclear power is being pitched as the answer but reactors need enormous quantities of water. So do data centers, chip factories, which are all part of this tech expansion.
Meanwhile, our farmers are already struggling for water. Our aquifer is strained, and now even more pressure is being added.

We at MVLA PAC will keep you informed of how ai.gov is reshaping idaho.gov.
