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

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.

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

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 developer behind the $14.5 billion project in Bessemer has suggested residents’ concerns are based on misinformation. Here’s what we know about the project and its impacts.

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.

Bloom Energy surged on AI hype and an Oracle deal, but valuation looks stretched and risks are rising ahead of earnings. Read why BE stock is downgraded to sell.

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.

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