What happens when the digital age collides with an insatiable hunger for energy? Data centers powering artificial intelligence, electric vehicles charging across sprawling networks, and industries ramping up production are pushing global grids to their limits. In this high-stakes environment, a
Harnessing the vast power of the oceans to meet global energy demands remains one of the most promising yet challenging frontiers in renewable energy. With over 70% of the Earth's surface covered by water, the potential for wave and tidal energy to contribute to a sustainable future is immense, yet
As the global push for renewable energy intensifies, the offshore wind sector stands at a critical juncture, tasked with scaling up operations to meet ambitious clean energy targets while grappling with constrained budgets compared to the historically well-funded oil and gas industry. This
Antibiotic pollution has emerged as a silent yet devastating threat to global ecosystems and public health, with residues like sulfamethoxazole lingering in water and soil, driving the dangerous rise of antibiotic resistance. This growing crisis demands innovative solutions that can effectively
In a quiet state like West Virginia, where rolling hills and small communities define the landscape, an unexpected economic burden is emerging from a source far beyond its borders, driven by the rapid expansion of data centers. Particularly in northern Virginia’s bustling “Data Center Alley,” this
The meteoric rise of data centers across the United States has unleashed an unprecedented wave of electricity demand, revealing glaring inadequacies in existing energy policies and utility frameworks, and as technology giants erect sprawling facilities to fuel cloud computing, artificial
In a world where digital demands surge and industrial engines roar back to life, the hunger for energy has never been more intense, with global consumption projected to rise by nearly 50% in the coming decades. Data centers, the backbone of an increasingly online society, devour electricity at
Artificial Intelligence stands as a transformative force in today’s world, simultaneously driving remarkable economic growth and placing unprecedented pressure on global energy infrastructure, as observed in October of this year. This technology, often likened to groundbreaking innovations of the
What happens when a region’s hunger for energy surges beyond all expectations, driven by tech giants and industrial powerhouses setting up shop? In the Southeast, Southern Co. is stepping up to meet this colossal demand, delivering a third-quarter performance that signals not just growth, but a
In an era where plastic waste continues to pile up in landfills and oceans, a staggering statistic emerges: only a small fraction of plastic produced in North America is recycled into new products, highlighting the urgent need for robust demand for postconsumer resin (PCR) to close the loop in the
