Grey Lucas goes A to Z on the Quantum Center that the state's building on the old steel yard at 87th and the lake. Starting with…what is a quantum center?

By now you would have heard the news: data centres are threatening to unravel the progress we've made on emissions reductions, as well as the health of communities throughout the continent. In fact, so-called Australia is a global investment hotspot, with 162 data centres in operation and at least 90 more on the way.  On today's show, we'll hear from a global expert on the newest and most ferocious force in this race towards disaster – AI data centres. Ketan Joshi is an independent climate, environment and sustainability expert, and lead author of a recent Greenpeace report entitled ‘Energy Vampires: The AI Data Centres Draining Australia'. Tune in for a confronting look at the disaster unfolding around us, and what to do if a climate-wrecking data farm pops up in your neighbourhood.    Ketan Joshi is an independent climate, environment and sustainability expert. He was the lead author on “The AI Climate Hoax”, published with several corporate accountability and environmental groups in 2026, and previously wrote “Windfall: Unlocking a Fossil Free Future” with the University of New South Wales Press. He worked for eight years in Australia's renewable energy sector (corporate and government), and has worked with European NGOs working on climate communications and corporate accountability. ‘Energy Vampires' report: https://www.greenpeace.org.au/static/planet4-australiapacific-stateless/2026/05/1032fdf5-data-centres-report-greenpeace.pdf 'The AI Climate Hoax' report: https://beyondfossilfuels.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/AI-for-climate-claims-Report_FEB-2026_FINAL-2-16.pdf Rally for a data centre moratorium, August 9 in western Narrm (melbourne): https://www.facebook.com/events/1628575625533388/ Wiki community for the campaign for a data centre moratorium: https://datacentremoratorium.net/index.php/Data_Centre_Moratorium_Wiki:About  Western Warrang (sydney) resistance: https://swelteringcities.org/2026/04/21/data-centres-ai-urban-heat-and-community-action-comes-together-in-western-sydney/ Petition: Stop the expansion of data centres in New South Wales: https://www.megaphone.org.au/petitions/halt-the-expansion-of-data-centres-in-nsw  Earth Matters #1568 was produced by Mia Audrey on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country.

Gene Marks compares public protests against data centers to the 19th-century opposition to railroads. While critics worry about land and water usage, Marks argues these facilities are imperative infrastructure for the information age and the AI revolution. Just as railroads enabled 20th-century American power, data centers are the means for moving information. Ceding this development would allow rivals like China or Russia to dominate the future economy. (12)1859 FIVR POINTS

Jim McTague reports that in Lancaster County, Republican representatives are introducing legislation that adds red tape and taxes to data centers, contradicting traditional pro-growth principles. While the Democratic-led Lancaster Cityhas embraced a lucrative data center deal, blue-collar "Trump country" boroughs remain fearful of the future. Despite these tensions, the local economy remains "steady" due to a diversified base including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and senior citizen spending. (6)1890 ERIE PA.

Data centers are becoming a bigger part of the conversation across rural America, but what do they actually mean for the communities where they're built? Tony Pipa with the Brooking Institution is our guest as we discuss what's driving the rapid growth in data centers, the opportunities they may bring, and the legitimate concerns surrounding water, power, land, jobs and long-term economic impacts. We also look at what rural communities should be asking before making decisions that could shape their future for decades. #DataCenters #RuralAmerica #ArtificialIntelligence #RuralDevelopment #Agriculture #Ranching #Energy #WaterResources #EconomicDevelopment #WorkingRanchRadioShow

Our weekly news roundup includes the most recent count of people experiencing homelessness in Monterey County, pushback on data center development, and the relaunch of the River Stewards program.

Host John Batchelor and his guests examine how global shipping routes and commodity prices are shifting due to regional instability and environmental extremes like European wildfires. The conversation transitions into a detailed analysis of public resistance toward data centers, highlighting the tension between much-needed local tax revenue and community fears regarding resource consumption. Through a Wall Street Journal quiz, the participants reveal widespread misconceptions about how these facilities impact water and electricity supplies. Finally, the experts critique the reliability of AI tools like Gemini and Claude, noting that while they boost productivity, they can sometimes disseminate foreign misinformation if not carefully vetted.

Simon Constable and Jim McTague continue with a quiz highlighting that typical data centers use 300,000 gallons of water daily, while larger ones can reach 5 million gallons. Currently, most centers are urban, but 67% of planned facilities are rural. In Lancaster County, a "tale of two data centers" emerges as one town embraces the revenue stream while another resists it due to misinformation and fear. (2)

Mark Zuckerberg argues that superintelligence should be widely available, while former White House cyber czar Richard Clarke warns AI may need safeguards more like a dangerous pathogen than a consumer product. Michael explores the growing debate over AI regulation, China's role in the global AI race, data centers, guardrails, and whether America is moving too fast—or not fast enough.

AI investing continues to shape markets as artificial intelligence (AI) moves beyond software and into the physical infrastructure of the global economy. From data centers and chips to space-based compute, autonomous trucks and humanoid robotics, the AI buildout is creating new questions about scarcity, supply chains and where value may accrue next.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido is joined by Tony Kim, Head of the Global Technology Team within BlackRock Fundamental Equities. Fresh from his 13th annual technology tour across San Francisco and Silicon Valley, Tony shares what he heard from leading innovators and how the AI conversation has evolved from model development to compute, infrastructure, physical AI and the changing shape of the technology stack.Tony explains why AI investing may increasingly require looking across multiple layers of the ecosystem: the physical layer of power, chips, data centers and cloud infrastructure; the intelligence layer of foundation models; and the application and services layer where disruption remains a central question. The discussion also explores how AI is creating both scarcity and abundance, why data center demand is reshaping supply chains, and how countries and companies tied to the compute build-out may be positioned differently from more service-oriented parts of the market.Check out our previous tech tour episodes with Tony Kim:2025 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/6ffqOgM2CDbJGEoaWjgjIP?si=418fdf5f886c4f622024 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/3ruCZNZ7vHghypqwnQzslg?si=e62206f037df409bKey moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction01:57 AI Wave Expands - How AI investing is expanding from model development into space, robotics and physical systems.05:28 AI Goes To Space - How low Earth orbit satellites could create new forms of AI data and, potentially, new compute architectures.07:51 Physical AI Adoption - Why autonomous vehicles, self-driving trucks and humanoid robots are part of the broader physical AI story10:00 Rewiring The Internet14:38 Where To Invest Now - How the shift in market value toward compute and model-centric companies is reshaping stock market trends.18:55 Risks And Optimism22:38 Wrap Up And What's Next on The Bid AI investing, artificial intelligence, technology investing, capital markets, megaforces, data centers, robotics, stock market trendsSources: BlackRock Fundamental Equities analysis of AI-related capex spending through 2030, as of July 2026; “How much does a GW of data center capacity actually cost” Investing.com, 2025; S&P Global Indices as at July 14th 2026This content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced this week she will not sign the Council-approved budget, saying it sets up a nearly $900 million fiscal cliff for the city's next mayor. It's a move that some believe will invite Congress to intrude again in District affairs. D.C.'s Shadow Representative Oye Owolewa gets behind the mic to share what kind of message he thinks it sends. Owolewa also talks about his recent Democratic primary win in the D.C. Council At-Large race and his big plans if voters decide to give him the keys to the Wilson Building come November.The Montgomery County Council this week unanimously passed an 18-month moratorium on data center development.

Apple heeft een erg goed kwartaal achter de rug. De omzet steeg flink, naar meer 109 miljard dollar. Dat is beter dan waarop was gerekend. Het waren vooral de iPhones die het ‘m deden. De helft van de omzet komt van de telefoons. En ook de winst (net geen 30 miljard) zag er perfect uit. Al met al mooie cijfers voor afzwaaiend topman Tim Cook. Alleen wordt zijn laatste optreden overschaduwd door een pijnlijke waarschuwing. Hij verwacht namelijk dat de chiptekorten de omzet én winst gaan raken. Deze aflevering hebben we het over die tegenvaller. Beleggers reageren heftig op het nieuws, wij zoeken uit of die reactie terecht is. Beter gaat het bij Amazon. Dat aandeel schiet omhoog. Beleggers reageren helemaal happy op de resultaten én de investeringsplannen van de techreus. Ook Amazon blijft als een malle geld in AI investeren. 220 miljard dollar dit jaar, weer 20 miljard dan eerder begroot. Alleen afgelopen kwartaal gaf het al 53 miljard uit aan nieuwe datacenters. Hebben we het ook over Universal Music Group. Dat opende ook de boeken, maar daar werd dan weer extreem somber op gereageerd. In korte tijd ging er meer dan 20 procent van de beurswaarde door het putje. Verder deze aflevering: Kan ASML de Chinese copycat's aan?

Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie.

Data center development and construction would benefit from innovative P/C industry solutions to meet non-traditional insurance coverage needs, according to a new Best's Special Report discussed by AM Best Senior Director Sridhar Manyem and Associate Director David Blades.

Opposition to data-center construction is the bipartisan issue of the moment—70 percent of Americans are against construction in their communities. Recently, New York passed the country's first statewide data-center-construction moratorium. Maine was supposed to have been the first. For this week's episode of Radio Atlantic, the reporter Ethan Brooks traveled to Maine to understand why one tiny town killed what would have been America's first data-center moratorium. - - - Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Learn how data centers could be raising your utility bills. Plus: how to use a sinking fund strategy to pay your bills. What does it actually cost your community when a hyperscale AI data center moves in nearby? Senior news writer Anna Helhoski joins host Sean Pyles, CFP®, to break down the growing national backlash against data centers. They discuss what costs communities are left to shoulder — from unexpected spikes in electricity bills to strained water supplies and persistent noise pollution — and why the economic benefits towns were promised may not measure up to what residents end up paying. Once your savings buckets are set up, how do you actually pay your bills without the whole system falling apart? Sean and his fellow host Elizabeth Ayoola tackle listener questions about the most overlooked piece of the sinking fund strategy: managing payments across multiple accounts. They dig into why putting everything on one credit card can become a bookkeeping headache, what it means if you keep pulling from one bucket to cover another, and how your rewards card strategy could actually be working against your savings goals.

First we get into a very circular (the strongest shape in nature) deal between Nvidia, OpenAI, and Softbank to finance a $250 billion 10-gigawatt data center complex, powered by a natural gas plant built by the US and Japanese governments, on a decommissioned uranium-enrichment site in Ohio, which will be filled by a further $350 billion of chips sold and financed by Nvidia. All very normal stuff. Then we revisit the hysteria over retail theft, why every pharmacy is a prison, and the admission by companies that “maybe we cried too much” about a problem that doesn't exist. Vibes are a very powerful thing. ••• Jathan's new paper: Deconstructing the Machine Learning Value Chain https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=7084259 ••• Nvidia in Talks With OpenAI to Guarantee $250 Billion Financing for Data Center https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/nvidia-in-talks-with-openai-to-guarantee-250-billion-financing-for-data-center-3dd6eae3 ••• We used to be able to buy things in this country https://dannykatch.substack.com/p/we-used-to-be-able-to-buy-things ••• British Police Built a Sprawling Crime-Prediction Machine.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should your state pause construction of new data centers? Michael examines the growing backlash against the massive facilities powering AI and the modern internet. With New York moving to halt certain projects, other states considering restrictions, and voters worried about electricity costs, water use, and strain on the grid, the debate is quickly becoming national. But slowing construction could also weaken U.S. competitiveness in the global AI race. Michael weighs the local costs against the economic and technological stakes—and asks whether states should press pause or keep building. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

America needs data centers to power AI, but few communities want one nearby. Michael talks with The Free Press senior editor and writer Joe Nocera about the growing battle over data centers—who benefits, who pays and whether transparency, tax revenue and new technology can ease local resistance. Then, listeners weigh in on jobs, electricity, water, farmland and whether states should pause construction as the artificial intelligence boom accelerates. Original air date 30 July 2026.

AI data centers are coming — and they could transform your job, your electric bill, your community, and your ability to build wealth. Behind this explosive race to control AI are secret NDAs, massive power demands, CIA-backed investments, and deals worth billions. But what aren't Americans being told about AI? Politicians like AOC and Bernie Sanders warn these massive AI data centers could pollute communities, overwhelm power grids, and send utility bills soaring. President Trump, Elon Musk, and others say AI data centers could create thousands of jobs, generate unprecedented local wealth, and even eliminate property taxes entirely. So which is it — and how can you tell whether the AI data center coming to your town will make your community richer or leave residents paying the price? Then there's China. Is Beijing fueling America's darkest fears about AI to convince us to surrender the most consequential technology race in modern history? Or are legitimate health, environmental, and financial risks being buried beneath the promise of unlimited AI prosperity? Trevor Neilson, president of Prometheus Hyperscale, builds AI data centers across America. He separates the legitimate risks from the political fearmongering and explains what every community should demand before one of these massive AI projects breaks ground in its backyard. He also reveals what the AI revolution will mean for American jobs, national security, personal wealth, and the next decade of human life. AI will create extraordinary wealth, destroy entire categories of work, and generate opportunities that do not exist today. The winners will learn how to harness AI, multiply their value, and move before everyone else understands what is happening. The losers will ignore AI until it replaces them.

The CoreSite data center in Elyria-Swansea is nearly complete, and some skeptical neighbors are already starting to see their concerns manifest at the 170,000-square foot facility. Early worries about environmental and noise pollution are starting to come to fruition, with nearby residents reporting low-frequency generator noises. One local science teacher is even using a grant to study the noise around the site, according to CPR News' climate reporter Sam Brasch. So, we're revisiting a conversation from last fall when host Bree Davies sat down with Brasch to talk through everything he had learned about AI data centers.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, host John Solomon dives deep into the ongoing AI revolution and the critical role of data centers in America's technological future. Recorded live at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, Solomon discusses the alarming rise of misinformation surrounding data centers and their impact on local communities. He highlights the transformation of public perception, where once welcomed for their economic benefits, data centers now face resistance fueled by fear and disinformation.Joining Solomon is Steve DelBianco, President and CEO of NetChoice, who sheds light on the myths surrounding data centers, such as concerns over water consumption and electricity costs. DelBianco emphasizes that modern data centers often use less water than golf courses and contribute to lowering electricity rates by enhancing grid efficiency. Together, they address the importance of educating communities about the economic opportunities that data centers bring, including job creation and tax revenue that can support local infrastructure and schools.The episode also features insights from EPA Deputy Administrator David Fotouhi, who discusses the agency's efforts to expedite permitting processes for data centers, ensuring that America maintains its competitive edge in the global AI race against China. Fotouhi outlines how the Ratepayer Protection Pledge is designed to safeguard consumers from rising electricity costs associated with new data centers.Later, economist Stephen Moore joins the conversation, sharing his thoughts on the necessity of data centers in driving economic growth and innovation. He warns against the dangers of succumbing to misinformation and urges listeners to recognize the vital role technology plays in shaping a prosperous future.Lastly, Jake Morabito, Senior Director of Policy, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), highlights the misinformation surrounding data centers, including misconceptions about their water usage and impact on electricity prices. Morabito also explains how data centers often consume less water than traditional industries and contribute to lower electricity rates by stabilizing the grid. They also discuss the job creation potential of data centers in a time when manufacturing is on the rise, emphasizing the skilled trades and local economic benefits that come with these developments.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The fight over AI data centers has entered a disturbing new phase. The developers and local government officials are becoming more fascistic, immoral, and dishonest in their effort to avoid public scrutiny and opposition. Oklahoma farmer and grassroots activist Darren Blanchard joins me to expose how Big Tech developers and government officials are allegedly using intimidation, deception, and political pressure to force massive AI data center projects into rural America. After speaking just seconds beyond his allotted time at a local council meeting, Blanchard was arrested. But that wasn't the biggest revelation. Through public records requests, he uncovered what appeared to be hundreds of fraudulent emails sent to local officials using the names of real residents to manufacture public support for a controversial data center project. Some residents say they never sent the emails. One reportedly came from a deceased individual. We also cover the connection between data centers, solar projects, and land acquisition, and why farmers are raising concerns about the threats to food production. Finally, we get political and discuss the future of grassroots resistance to Big Tech and how it might spawn a new party.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kevin O'Leary is back on Money Rehab, and this time he's changed his tune on crypto. Nicole presses "Mr. Wonderful" on his wild reversal: from owning 27 coins to just two, why he thinks the real money is now in power infrastructure, and why the Clarity Act could break Bitcoin's price ceiling. Kevin also gets into the messy, litigious world of data centers, including the lawsuits, the death threats against his own family, and where he thinks the money trail leads. Then things get personal: his $5 million "you're not wealthy until" rule, the eye-popping story behind the $35 million outfit he wore to the Oscars, and which Shark he'd call to bail him out of jail. Of course, no Kevin O'Leary episode is complete without a fight, so Nicole and Kevin reignite their $28 sandwich debate and reach a truce… Almost.
