From Washington's Canal to AI Data Centers: America's Infrastructure Vision

We explore how George Washington's vision for connecting the young nation through infrastructure laid the groundwork for every major era of American development, and how that same vision is now being applied to the age of artificial intelligence.

■ Washington's vision and the Mount Vernon Compact
- The Potomac obstacle and the need for a canal with locks
- Cooperation between states forged at Mount Vernon

■ Infrastructure through the generations
- From canals to railroads, grids, highways, and airports
- Each era renewing the founding vision

■ The next era: AI infrastructure
- A community-first initiative for data centers
- Working with local governments on costs, jobs, and skills

Viewers interested in the historical roots of American infrastructure and the practical challenges of building data centers today will gain an understanding of how past and present efforts share common principles of cooperation and community focus.
