The Department of Energy is commercializing revolutionary AI technology to protect America’s electrical grid. Sandia National Laboratories’ griDNA system represents a fundamental shift in grid security strategy.
Two major nuclear restarts signal a dramatic shift in America’s energy landscape. Defunct plants are being resurrected to power AI’s explosive growth, creating new market dynamics and investment opportunities.
The United States is opening part of its Cold War-era plutonium stockpile to accelerate development of next-generation nuclear reactors. Companies including Oklo and Newcleo are seeking access to the material as the administration pushes to revive domestic nuclear capacity amid rising electricity demand.
In a significant shift for American energy policy, the United States is reportedly opening portions of its Cold War-era plutonium reserves to private companies developing next-generation nuclear technology. According to sources familiar with the initiative, the Department of Energy has invited applications for up to 19 metric tons of weapons-grade plutonium previously designated for nuclear warheads.
The US Energy Department is pushing regulators to slash wait times for connecting power-hungry AI datacenters to the electrical grid. Under new proposals, connection reviews would be limited to 60 days instead of the current multi-year delays that threaten to stall America’s AI infrastructure buildout.
The Biden administration is taking direct aim at one of the biggest bottlenecks facing America’s artificial intelligence boom: the painfully slow process of connecting massive datacenters to the nation’s overtaxed electrical grid.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright has directed federal energy regulators to implement new rules that would dramatically accelerate grid connections for the megawatt-hungry computing facilities powering the AI revolution. According to a letter obtained by industry sources, Wright instructed the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to establish procedures that could slash connection review times to just 60 days.
