## Quote — verbatim

> I'm aligned with you there. I mean, Department of Energy report recently said 12%, and DOE is known to take a very conservative approach and they always miss their estimation. So when DOE says 12% of US energy will be consumed on AI by 2028, I think in reality it'll be 30% by 2030.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Rapid-fire round; Villamizar first bets 20-30% of total US energy by 2030 and Greg endorses the high end, discounting the DOE estimate.
