Opposition to the Prince William Digital Gateway development echoes that of fears about such data clusters across the country.

The Oak Ridge Reservation and 3 other sites are "well-situated for large-scale data centers, new power generation, and other necessary infrastructure."

To achieve true uptime, data centers must invest in better thermal management, power distribution and reliable, serviceable components. Investing in reliable technology, such as high-performance thermal interfaces, ultimately enables businesses to increase performance and profitability.

Labor costs, water and power needs, timelines — the asset class du jour is starting to strain construction across the board.

In response to the Trump administration's "AI Action Plan," environmental advocates in Indiana, Virginia, and Tennessee said data centers led to higher electricity prices and increased pollution.

The electricity needs are massive. But state leaders point to the jobs and economic benefits the data center will bring to an impoverished part of the state. This Q&A will get you up to speed.

The proposal for 11-building data center with about 6 million square feet near Delaware City is drawing attention from state and county leaders.

Data centers have always been high energy users; but artificial intelligence ups the ante. Alerify and other data storage/cloud services use mostly average “cpu” processors (regular computer levels of power). Comparatively, AI requires graphics processors to generate new data/information— which use a lot more energy and create a lot more heat.

Plans for a new data center project in Michigan City could be back on after the mayor backed out of a previous plan last week.This time around, the city counci

As much as there’s a demand for data centers, so too is there for energy. President Donald Trump pledged “energy dominance” as he touted touted tens of billions of dollars of recent energy and technology investments earlier this month in the state.
