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.

On Tuesday, OpenAI announced a partnership with Oracle to develop 4.5 gigawatts of additional data center capacity for its Stargate AI infrastructure platform in the US. The expansion, which TechCrunch reports is part of a $30 billion-per-year deal between OpenAI and Oracle,

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

A report released Tuesday by Western Resource Advocates warns of the need to be prepared for the amount of energy and water that data centers demand, especially in the dry interior West. “The expansion of AI and other technologies has created a rush to build data centers so that we now need to rapidly expand our energy grid on a massive scale.

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.

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.

Data centers kick out a ton of heat. Wave pools take a ton of energy to keep warm. There might just be a synergy there. We examined.

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.

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

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) - QTS officials reported that a data center construction site is in full compliance with regulations Thursday. The Fairfax Water Department first raised concerns with the construction site after noticing dozens of potentially illegal wells tied to the Google and QTS data centers.
