Meta's agreement with Entergy to build and finance seven new power plants in Louisiana will significantly enhance the energy infrastructure needed for its AI data center complex, Hyperion. The total of 10 power plants will provide enough energy to power over 5 million homes, representing a substantial increase in the state's grid capacity.
The proposed PSD permit in front of the board today not only meets all state and federal permitting regulations, but goes above and beyond what is required by law. MDEQ and the EPA agree that not a single person around our facilities will be exposed to unhealthy levels of air pollution.
USAC closed 2025 with a record adjusted EBITDA of $613.8 million and a distributable cash flow of $385.7 million, indicating strong financial performance despite high debt levels.
The Board believes Texas legislators, judges, and juries who might make decisions that impact Exxon Mobil are generally more familiar with our business and operations. A new Texas law makes it harder for shareholders to sue companies by requiring a minimum stock ownership to file lawsuits, providing legal protection that serves as the real draw for redomiciliation.
TerraPower is one of several companies racing to build smaller, more efficient reactors to augment electrical grids under strain from AI data centers. In a 2024 interview with The Verge, Bill Gates said that he also believes nuclear energy can help solve the climate crisis by using designs that minimize the problem in terms of their safety or fuel use or how they handle waste.
Working inside an operating business changed how I look at buildings. You stop seeing square footage and start seeing workflow. That perspective still guides his work today. It helps him understand tenants and advise property owners with more clarity.
The Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA's) quarterly meeting in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, opened with a triumphant video homage to its work during Winter Storm Fern. Energy had come through, yet again, to defeat extreme cold. The montage credited this to the utility's "coal workhorses," then noted that nuclear provided "uninterrupted power" and "hydro responded instantly." The list ended there, despite years of promises that the agency would bolster renewables and battery storage.
Artificial intelligence is transforming every part of our society, but its energy appetite is unlike anything we've seen before. The electricity required to power AI datacenters is expected to double or triple in the coming decade, straining infrastructure that is already under pressure. ORNL is uniquely positioned to meet this challenge.
LBRT delivered a 148% EPS surprise in Q4 2025, posting $0.08 per share against a consensus estimate of -$0.17. PTEN beat by 83% on the same quarter, reporting a loss of -$0.02 versus the -$0.12 consensus. These aren't rounding errors. They signal that the street's models were built for a worse reality than the one these companies are actually living in.
The AI revolution has a power problem. Training GPT-4 required as much electricity as 10,000 U.S. homes use in a year. Multiply that by thousands of models being trained simultaneously, plus billions of daily queries. The result? A data center energy boom reshaping power generation. Facilities drawing 100+ megawatts each, with some hyperscale campuses approaching 1 gigawatt (the equivalent of small cities).
Despite the Trump administration's opposition to renewables, solar power will likely remain part of datacenter energy supply mix due to its low cost. This is according to financial analyst Jefferies, which says in a research note - shared with The Register - that clean energy companies are going "on the offense" and adapting to the changing times in which they find themselves.
The company's record production jumped 12% year-over-year, driven by the Hess acquisition, which added 261 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day. CEO Mike Wirth called it a "significant achievement...integrated Hess, started-up major projects, delivered record production." Chevron's integrated model spans upstream production, refining, chemicals, and emerging energy ventures, including lithium and hydrogen projects. The company returned $12.1 billion in share buybacks for the year and raised its dividend 4% to $1.78 per share.
