Trump administration announces $100 billion AI data center in Kentucky

The Trump administration has announced plans to redevelop part of the former Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in western Kentucky into a massive artificial intelligence data center campus. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the privately funded project is expected to bring about $100 billion in investment, create approximately 8,000 construction jobs and 600 permanent jobs, and include new natural gas-fired power generation and battery storage to support AI computing. The Cold War-era uranium enrichment facility has been undergoing environmental cleanup since operations ended in 2013. Federal officials say redevelopment will occur alongside those remediation efforts, while some environmental groups have raised concerns about the project's potential impacts. https://fox17.com/news/local/trump-administration-announces-100-billion-ai-data-center-project-in-western-kentucky #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Kentucky #Paducah #Trump #DataCenter #Technology #FOX17News _______________ Follow!
