How you invest in AI speaks volumes about you, specifically your risk tolerance. Because itโ€™s been Your Survival Guyโ€™s experience that investors realize their risk tolerance is intolerance, like a food allergy, after the fact. When they lose money.

When you consider AIโ€™s pull-on energy, doesnโ€™t it make sense to have some utilities? Why not include ones that have a history of paying dividends and increasing them?

The WSJ reports:

In the U.S., with the most data centers, their share of electricity consumption could rise from 4% in 2022 to 6% in 2026, the International Energy Agency says.

AI could add 8% to U.S. natural-gas demand by 2030, according to research firm Thunder Said Energy, with backup generators burning more diesel too.

โ€œI think weโ€™re going to need every little bit of renewables and natural gas we possibly can,โ€ Murray Auchincloss, chief executive of oil major BP, said of the growth of AI on a recent earnings call.
