The surging power and water needs of AI data centers trigger construction freezes in New York and planning strains in the UK, while Microsoft’s emissions rise 25%. The clash between AI growth and environmental limits forces a rethink of data center sustainability.
EdgeConneX is building two hyperscale campuses in Malaysia, designed for GPU loads of up to 600kW per rack. A closed-loop, non-evaporative cooling system eliminates water consumption, saving an estimated 16.6 million liters daily. Phase one is set fo...
New York State has imposed a one-year moratorium on large new data centers, amid growing concerns over pollution, energy costs, and water usage. The forced pause could reshape AI deployment strategies, pushing more organizations toward on-premise and...
Nscale has the money, the site, and the customers for its £2bn Essex data centre, but the promised electricity is late. The paradox reveals energy infrastructure as the weakest link in digital sovereignty and on-premise deployment projects.
Microsoft’s greenhouse gas emissions rose 25% in a single year, despite a pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The culprit is the build-out of AI data centers, which makes the number both worse and more honest than it appears. The energy appetite of...
Meta's announcement marks an unprecedented leap: the Hyperion supercluster will reach 5 gigawatts of power, pushing the total Louisiana investment past $50 billion, with over $1 billion earmarked for local infrastructure. More than a hardware story, ...
US power companies are scrambling for transformers and turbines as lead times balloon from months to years, drained by AI data centers. This structural bottleneck redefines where and how AI infrastructure grows.
