How Westinghouse is reenergizing nuclear power with — and for — AI. Westinghouse announced plans to construct 10 state-of-the-art AP1000 nuclear reactors by 2030 to support rising energy demands from AI and other sectors, with a combined capacity to electrify 7.5 million households. The initiative, in partnership with Google Cloud, signals a major integration of AI tools to accelerate nuclear construction, operations, and safety.

The US grid’s 5GW limit is a choke, as each 1GW AI datacenter (powering 750K homes) strains available capacity. This shifts costs from chips to grid access, pitting hyperscalers against residential energy needs.

Despite Chinese hacks, Trump’s FCC votes to scrap cybersecurity rules for phone and internet companies. The FCC voted along party lines to scrap cybersecurity rules for major telecom and internet companies despite previous measures prompted by a China‐backed hacking group. The decision reverses protections originally implemented under the previous administration, raising concerns about the security of critical communications infrastructure.

Scrapping these rules raises telecom vulnerabilities, making operators ripe targets for state and criminal actors. Past events like Equifax’s 147M breach and 30+ Tbps DDoS peaks suggest a 90–120-day patch gap could now expose massively expanded attack surfaces.
