Introduction:
In today’s episode, we explore five compelling stories shaping the intersection of technology, energy, and regulation. First, the explosive growth of AI is driving a looming power crisis, triggering a massive $90 billion investment surge and Microsoft’s surprising plan to revive the Three Mile Island nuclear plant. Next, despite record-breaking orders fueled by AI demand, chip equipment leader ASML’s shares plunged 8% as CEO Christophe Fouquet warns that potential U.S. tariffs could disrupt the entire AI supply chain. We then dive into crypto giant Tether’s bold acquisition of a South American farm, aiming to tokenize crops and harness the farm’s biomass energy for large-scale bitcoin mining. Following that, we highlight a surprising partnership between Amazon and its rival SpaceX, where Amazon is paying Elon Musk’s company to launch its Project Kuiper satellites in a bid to catch up with Starlink. Finally, wearable innovator Whoop faces off against the FDA over its new blood pressure monitoring feature, accusing the agency of regulatory overreach amid a tight compliance deadline.
