The U.S. Department of Energy has formed a $1 billion partnership with AMD to build two advanced supercomputers. These systems will accelerate research in fusion energy, cancer treatments, and national security applications.
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.
The Trump administration is reportedly pressing energy regulators to dramatically speed up data center connections to power grids. According to documents reviewed by Bloomberg News, a proposed rule would limit reviews to just 60 days, a significant reduction from the current multi-year timeline.
The Trump administration is reportedly urging federal regulators to significantly accelerate the process for connecting data centers to the nation’s power grids, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg News.

The Rosebank oil field controversy deepens as new calculations reveal it would contribute 249 million tonnes of CO2 emissions over 25 years. This staggering figure is more than 50 times greater than initial extraction-only estimates, raising serious climate concerns.
The controversial Rosebank oil field development faces renewed scrutiny after revised environmental assessments revealed its true climate impact. Following a landmark Supreme Court ruling, Norwegian energy company Equinor has recalculated the project’s emissions to include both extraction and consumption phases, exposing a dramatically different environmental picture that could influence the UK’s climate commitments.
