The Race To Power AI Is Reshaping America's Electric Grid
AI data centers are driving unprecedented demand for electricity and putting renewed pressure on America’s power grid to modernize its equipment and develop greener, more efficient sources of power. Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon are all spending millions of dollars on local infrastructure upgrades and companies like SpaceXAI are even building off-grid power plants to power their data centers. Google says its planned 780-megawatt data center in Pine Island, Minnesota, could offer a model for powering the AI boom. In a proposed agreement with Xcel Energy, Google says it will support 1,900 megawatts of new wind, solar and battery capacity, while minimum payments and exit fees are intended to protect local ratepayers if demand falls short. CNBC examines whether projects like Pine Island can make the grid cleaner without shifting costs to existing customers, why some energy experts argue that smaller data centers could make better use of infrastructure already in place, and how utiliti
Why Fuel Economy Rollbacks Will Spur More Trucks, More V-8 Engines
Lowered compliance costs, greater control over products, more big engines, more pickup trucks. These are just some of the changes investors expect from the rollback of fuel economy rules and the elimination of fines. Data indicate pent up demand for pickup trucks, and many automakers are bringing back V-8 engines. At the same time, hybrid vehicles are surging, and electric vehicles have longer term structural demand in their favor.

‘Concerned:’ Samsung, Micron And Other Chipmakers Face U.S. Worker Shortage
Manpower is key for making enough chips to power AI, but a new report shows the U.S. faces a shortage of up to 157,000 semiconductor workers by 2030. Samsung sits down for a rare interview with CNBC's Katie Tarasov about why it's "concerned" as it prepares to open a new logic fab in Texas, within months of other U.S. fabs coming online from TSMC, Intel, Micron and SK Hynix. For now, U.S. chipmakers like Micron hold hiring sprees in Asia, which has dominating the industry for decades and offers chip jobs with bonuses upwards of $500,000. CNBC finds out what chipmakers and U.S. schools like Purdue and Arizona State University are doing to entice the next generation of U.S. students to study chip engineering, in hopes of creating a talent pipeline that will keep from crippling U.S. ambitions to lead in AI.
