Show Notes
The U.S. Department of Energy unveils a massive public-private partnership to build a data center with a power plant at a closed uranium enrichment facility in Ohio. The PORTS Technology Campus aims to boost AI development, featuring a ten-gigawatt data center and up to ten gigawatts of new power generation, primarily from natural gas. The project, one of sixteen federal sites opened for tech companies, ties into recent efforts for companies to create their own electricity for AI operations. Key players include SoftBank and AEP Ohio, with support from Japan for the natural gas part. The initiative supports SoftBanks work with OpenAI and Oracle, potentially worth $500 billion, and aims to create thousands of jobs and spark research in fusion energy, quantum computing, and national security. Excess power will feed back into the regional grid, marking a smart reuse of federal land.
