From crypto to AI

Vulcan Infrastructure and Power plans to convert its bitcoin mining facility on Seneca Lake in Dresden, NY, into a hyperscale AI data center. This pivot faces significant environmental opposition from local residents and politicians, particularly concerning increased noise, water usage, and potential impacts on Seneca Lake's ecosystem. The project is also subject to a statewide one-year moratorium on large hyperscale AI data centers and new proposed legislation to regulate data centers in New York.

Louisiana PSC consultant questions Entergy's $1.8B gas plant acquisition tied to Meta data center power needs

Entergy Louisiana proposes to acquire a gas-fired power plant for $1.8 billion, a cost that could be passed on to ratepayers. A consultant for the Louisiana Public Service Commission argues the plant is unreliable, overpriced, and primarily needed due to Meta's data center in Richland Parish. The PSC is set to decide on the acquisition and whether Meta should bear the costs, with some members already expressing opposition.
