The US energy landscape is changing quickly. Demand for artificial intelligence is driving up power demand while electric vehicle (EV) adoption slows down and enters a more complex phase. Together, these trends are reshaping how utilities, policymakers, financiers and automakers respond to emerging challenges in the energy sector.

FERC told grid operators to give data centers a fast lane for interconnections, but it failed to address electricity supply shortages.

The employees encouraged limits on the complexes in a series of hearings in the tech giant’s hometown, Seattle.

Apple may raise prices as AI data center demand tightens memory chip supply, pushing higher component costs into consumer devices.

Some shareholders might object, but there is little they could do, legal experts say.

Um relatório da Global Data prevê que a China vai ultrapassar os Estados Unidos na corrida dos centros de dados. Segundo os especialistas, a energia vai tornar-se o novo “ouro digital”.

The Justice department says the Pentagon needs xAI to keep using its unpermitted gas turbines.

They make much of the gear that goes into giant data centers. Demand for their products is shifting the balance of tech power.

As data centers sprout across Georgia, the state’s utility providers are building new power lines to meet the demand for electricity. We speak with residents in Fayetteville, about 25 miles south of Atlanta, who say the new lines will run through their backyards and make it impossible to resell their homes at their current value.

As SpaceX gears up to start launching orbital data center spacecraft as soon as next year, astronomers warn those satellites could cause serious interference with their observations.

Elon Musk’s AI ecosystem spans xAI, Tesla, X, Neuralink, and SpaceX, connecting chatbots, robots, brain implants, and spacecraft.

The AI boom is ushering in a new era for energy storage. As data center buildout accelerates, batteries are evolving from short-duration backup tools into larger, more flexible systems that can help bring facilities online faster and manage complex power needs. In the US in particular, a growing pipeline of projects is emerging, with batteries increasingly paired with on-site generation or used to smooth demand and unlock faster connections to the grid. So how are data centers changing the energy storage market, and what role could these systems play in the power grid of the future? On today’s show, Tom Rowlands-Rees is joined by, Caitilín McManus, a technology and innovation associate at BloombergNEF, to discuss her recently released note “Data Centers’ Energy Storage Ramp Up: Project List Grows.”

A United Nations University report says AI data center growth carries environmental costs beyond carbon emissions, raising new questions about power demand, water use, land impact, and vendor disclosure.

Most of the value in SpaceX's IPO is effectively a call option on the company's ambitious space data center plans.

A Los Angeles-based startup has raised $5 million to fund an in-orbit computing demonstration next year, ahead of plans to deploy more than 100,000 orbital data centers to meet surging demand for AI infrastructure.
