AI data centers in the United States could consume 33.8 gigawatts of power by 2030, or about 3% of the country’s generating capacity, Schneider Electric said earlier this year. Some AI power demand projections are even more aggressive, like a 2024 RAND Corporation forecast cited by Schneider that sees 130 GW of data center demand in 2030. With data center projects worth at least $64 billion delayed or blocked by local oppos...

Plus: Trump’s China AI chips U-turn hasn’t gone down well with Democrats This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. This startup wants to use the Earth as a massive battery Texas-based startup Quidnet Energy just completed a test showing it can store energy for up to six months by pumping water underground. Using water to store electricity is hardly a new concept—pumped hydr...

In traditional pumped hydro storage facilities, electric pumps move water uphill, into a natural or manmade body of water. Then, when electricity is needed, that water is released and flows downhill past a turbine, generating electricity. Quidnet’s approach instead pumps water down into impermeable rock formations and keeps it under pressure so it flows up when released. “It’s like pumped hydro, upside down,” says CEO Joe Zhou. Quidnet started a six-month test of its technology in late 2...

Electrochemical cells – or batteries, as a well-known example – are complex technologies that combine chemistry, physics, materials science and electronics. More than power sources for everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, they remain a strong motivation for scientific inquiry that seeks to fully understand their structure and evolution at the molecular level. A team led by Yingjie Zhang, a professor of materials science and engineering in The Grainger College of Engineer...
