Americans are hanging on by their fingernails in an economy that funnels wealth to the ultra-rich and leaves crumbs for working people.

Most of the reports so far came from Texas. Erin Brockovich, the American environmental activist portrayed by Julia Roberts in the film named after her, has launched a new project that aims to give people a platform to speak up and voice concerns about AI data centers in their communities. The new Brockovich AI Data Center Reporting website centers on a map showing major operational AI data centers and facilities under construction in the US, along with projects reported by the community. Some of the reports could be for rumored or proposed projects, so not every dot on the map represents a data center that's already running. The website has received 2,716 reports so far, with the biggest chunk coming from Texas.

It filed a request with the FCC to deploy almost 52,000 satellites. Blue Origin has revealed its plans for an {@/data/467/1/1 orbital AI data center @/data/467/1/1} system in a new filing with the Federal Communications Commission. The company has asked the agency for permission to deploy 51,600 satellites, as reported by the and . Called Project Sunrise, the initiative aims to launch and operate a constellation of satellites that can deliver computing capacity for artificial intelligence uses. Project Sunrise's satellites will be placed in sun-synchronous orbits at altitudes between 311 and 1,118 miles.

In a pine forest on Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the only active nickel mine in the US is nearing the end of its life. At a time when carmakers want the metal for electric-vehicle batteries, nickel concentration at Eagle Mine is falling and could soon drop too low to warrant digging. Demand for nickel, copper, and rare earth elements is rapidly increasing amid the explosive growth of metal-intensive data centers, electric cars, and renewable energy projects. But producing these metals is becoming harder and more expensive because miners have already exploited the best resources. Here's how biotechnology could help . What we've been getting wrong about AI's truth crisis What would it take to convince you that the era of truth decay we were long warned about--where AI content dupes us, shapes our beliefs even when we catch the lie, and erodes societal trust in the process--is now here?

Abstract--We develop an energy management system (EMS) for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers with colocate d renewable generation. Under a cost-minimizing framework, th e EMS of renewable-colocated data center (RCDC) co-optimize s AI workload scheduling, on-site renewable utilization, an d electricity market participation. Within both wholesale and re tail market participation models, the economic benefit of the RCD C operation is maximized. Empirical evaluations using real-world traces of electricity prices, data center power consumptio n, and renewable generation demonstrate significant electric ity cost reduction from renewable and AI data center colocations. Index T erms --AI data center power system, energy management system, flexible demand, large load colocation, worklo ad scheduling.

Fox News chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin reports on what the United States and Israel are doing to stay ahead of adversaries in A.I. on'Special Report.' Today, something big and unprecedented is happening in Pittsburgh. The inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation summit at Carnegie Mellon University is the clearest and most dramatic manifestation yet of President Donald Trump's promises to make America energy dominant, lead in advanced technology, and create jobs and opportunity for working families in Pennsylvania and across America. In 2017, Mr. Trump said he was "elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris." Today in the Steel City, I am proud to welcome the President and more than 60 CEOs of the world's most important companies and largest investors to my hometown to announce over 50 billion in new investments in energy, artificial intelligence (AI), and workforce development all targeted at making sure Pennsylvania powers the AI revolution.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio attends a signing ceremony for a peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the State Department on June 27, 2025, in Washington. DIGITAL DECEPTION: The State Department is investigating an impostor who reportedly pretended to be Secretary of State Marco Rubio with the help of AI. TECH SHIFT: Artificial Intelligence and automation are often used interchangeably. While the technologies are similar, the concepts are different. Automation is often used to reduce human labor for routine or predictable tasks, while A.I. simulates human intelligence that can eventually act independently.

Hussain Sajwani, owner of DAMAC Properties, said his company will invest 20 billion to build data centers across the U.S. in a press conference hosted by President-elect Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Jan. 7, 2025. Artificial intelligence is expanding quickly, and so is the energy required to run it. Modern AI data centers use much more electricity than traditional cloud servers. In many cases, the existing power grid cannot keep up. One innovative solution is gaining traction: repurposed EV batteries for AI data centers.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is fueling exponential electricity demand growth, threatening grid reliability, raising prices for communities paying for new energy infrastructure, and stunting AI innovation as data centers wait for interconnection to constrained grids. This paper presents the first field demonstration, in collaboration with major corporate partners, of a software-only approach--Emerald Conductor--that transforms AI data centers into flexible grid resources that can efficiently and immediately harness existing power systems without massive infrastructure buildout. Conducted at a 256-GPU cluster running representative AI workloads within a commercial, hyperscale cloud data center in Phoenix, Arizona, the trial achieved a 25% reduction in cluster power usage for three hours during peak grid events while maintaining AI quality of service (QoS) guarantees. By orchestrating AI workloads based on real-time grid signals without hardware modifications or energy storage, this platform reimagines data centers as grid-interactive assets that enhance grid reliability, advance affordability, and accelerate AI's development.

The event marked the launch of the company's new business line, Redwood Energy, which will initially repurpose (rather than recycle) batteries with years of remaining life to create renewable-powered microgrids. Such small-scale energy systems can operate on or off the larger electricity grid, providing electricity for businesses or communities. Redwood Materials says many of the batteries it takes in for processing retain more than half their capacity. "We can extract a lot more value from that material by using it as an energy storage project before recycling it," JB Straubel, Redwood's founder and chief executive, said at the event. This first microgrid, housed at the company's facility in the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, is powered by solar panels and capable of generating 64 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of the nation's largest such systems.
