"A stellarator is a thing that is objectively very difficult to design, objectively very difficult to build, but if it works, it can control the burning hot plasma better than a tokamak."

"We were considering multiple forms of capital when we started. It just felt like the opportunity is so large that venture capital gives us the opportunity to take those risks upfront and have the possibility to generate an outsized return."

Super Typhoon Sinlaku first hit the islands on Tuesday night and continued into Wednesday, with a barrage of fierce winds and relentless rains that flipped over cars, toppled utility poles and ripped away tin roofs.

Noor, meaning light in Arabic, is a solar facility that produces enough energy to power more than a million homes, utilizing concentrated solar power instead of traditional PV panels.

"The nuclear power technology that is most common - light water reactors - was originally invented for nuclear submarines. There has actually always been a history of basically pre-fabbing it and looking at it in a shipyard context."

Data centers accounted for around 50% of all electricity demand growth in the U.S. last year, according to the IEA, far surpassing the rise in electricity usage in the residential, industrial, and transport sectors.

October 2025 alone recorded more than $350 billion of tangible data center projects under development. This, Mullins said, is no longer driven by the compute demands of training large language models (LLMs). We have moved into the inferencing stage. It is inference by applications that now consumes massive amounts of compute resources. In addition to generative AI applications like Gemini and ChatGPT, AI is being used in autonomous vehicles, robotics, liquefied natural gas, and more.

The infrastructure beneath Brooklyn's snow-packed streets has been struggling against an unforeseen adversary: the very salt meant to protect its surfaces. As Gothamis t reports, there are about 2,000 Brooklyn residents grappling with a formidable power outage, prominently in neighborhoods like Boerum Hill, Park Slope, and Gowanus, a logistical snare that has been exacerbated by the 116 million pounds of salt distributed citywide to combat the snow that is now corroding underground power cables and preventing Con Edison's repairs.

While the abrupt end to your home chef experience is inconvenient, the bigger issue is that your gas furnace still needs electricity to run, and it's supposed to drop into the 20s overnight. Now imagine that while everyone else is rifling through their junk drawer for flashlights and batteries,

Con Edison crews have officially restored power to residents and business owners over in Boerum Hill and Park Slope.

The pioneering technology means one of the oldest forms of energy storage, hydropower, can be used to store and release renewable energy using even gentle slopes rather than the steep dam walls and mountains that are usually required. The design means the principles of hydropower could be used as a form of long duration energy storage in many more locations across the UK, and the world, than traditional hydropower dams. The projects could be quicker and cheaper to build too.

When Specian dug into the data, he discovered that implementing energy-efficiency measures and shifting electricity usage to lower-demand times are two of the fastest and cheapest ways of meeting growing thirst for electricity. These moves could help meet much, if not all, of the nation's projected load growth. Moreover, they would cost only half-or less-what building out new infrastructure would, while avoiding the emissions those operations would bring.

The US is now leading a global surge in new gas power plants being built in large part to satisfy growing energy demand for data centers. And more gas means more planet-heating pollution. Gas-fired power generation in development globally rose by 31 percent in 2025. Almost a quarter of that added capacity is slated for the US, which has surpassed China with the biggest increase of any country.
