🚨 TEACHERS WERE TOLD TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS FOR AI DATA CENTERS — AND THE STUDENTS WERE LEFT IN THE DARK This is the future they promised? Loudoun County, Virginia... one of the biggest data center hubs on Earth, welcomed 37 data centers. Then the AI boom arrived. The servers came online. The power demand exploded. Now schools are reportedly being told to cut energy use. Turn off lights. Unplug electronics. Conserve wherever possible. The facilities consuming enormous amounts of electricity keep expanding. The classrooms are being told to use less. Officials say it's about rising energy costs. But that's not the question many people are asking. The question is why the burden always seems to fall on everyone else. The data centers get built. The power demand rises. The electricity bills go up. And somehow the teachers and students are the ones being asked to make sacrifices. They said AI would transform society. Maybe it already is. Because every year it feels like the same story. The data centers need more power. The data centers need more water. The data centers need more land. The data centers keep growing. And ordinary people are told to adapt. First they built the data centers. Now the schools are turning off the lights. Who should get the electricity first: students or AI servers?

🚨WATCH: The push for green energy is running head first into the push for data centers. Spotsylvania County, Virginia is home to the largest solar panel development east of the Rockies. But despite its large 6,300+ acre footprint, it doesn’t provide enough power for one large data center complex in Loudoun County. Loudoun County has more than 200 data centers, and Virginia has more than 600 data centers. More data centers are on the way.

Data centers play a critical role in our lives. But AI has turbocharged the need for bigger data centers, putting a growing demand on the existing power grid. So what happens when the digital backbone of our lives needs more power than the world can offer?

The energy sector has been getting a boost from AI, with an extra 94 gigawatts forecast to be needed by 2030 to power all these data centers. But one long-time utilities analyst is calling out the boom as an infrastructure overbuild. Andy DeVries, head of investment grade credit and head of utilities and power at CreditSights, tells Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway the math behind his analysis

Follow the bottleneck. Chips → data centers → grid equipment → power → gas turbines Grid equipment grew 1%/yr for decades. Then data centers showed up as an entirely new buyer. Gas turbine makers shipped 5–7 GW/yr. Last year? Orders hit 100 GW. Max Cook on how he follows the bottleneck across the AI power ecosystem ⬇️

🚨 ELON MUSK MAY HAVE JUST EXPOSED THE NEXT BIG PROBLEM FOR THE GLOBAL ECONOMY. Musk says AI demand is now so extreme that production shortages have become “insane.” At the same time, Tim Cook says tech cost inflation is the worst he has seen in 40 years. Now AI is starting to push up the cost of chips, electricity, software, smartphones, and data centers across the entire economy. The AI boom is no longer just a Bubble. It is starting to become an inflation problem too.
