Season 1
Five times this summer, nuclear power plants in the U.S. have shut down suddenly due to one problem or issue or another. It happens more frequently than you may ever have noticed. But when it happens to a hyperscale data center, the impact may be altogether different. We may start to notice soon.
A company called Ionic Digital is attempting to turn the assets from the bankrupt Celsius Networks crypto-mining operation into AI data center infrastructure and tap into the country’s fastest-growing, most valuable buildout in generations. Here’s a look at what’s going on.
American Buildout examines the explosive NAACP v. xAI lawsuit, where pollution, artificial intelligence, military power and executive authority collide. As Elon Musk’s Colossus data center expands across Mississippi and Tennessee, nearby communities confront a defining question: Who benefits from America’s infrastructure ambitions—and who is forced to bear the true costs?
The moratorium is a very useful tool in a local government's toolbox. But not every moratorium is the same. American Buildout looked at almost 100 different moratoria developed or considered by local governments in the U.S. over the past year: from California to Texas, Iowa to Arizona, 30 states in all. The differences in how they hit the pause button tell a separate story entirely. From http://www.AmericanBuildout.com.
