Texas grid faces risk as data centers and new lines collide with delays

Texas regulators warn that pausing data-center connections and delaying West Texas high-voltage transmission projects could trigger rolling blackouts, higher energy prices, and stalled economic growth as data centers swell demand and complicate grid planning. Gov. Abbott ordered an audit of data-center connections, ERCOT paused Batch Zero, and lawmakers debate timelines after SOAH suggested rejecting part of the West Texas buildout. With five PUC applications pending, the outcome will influence whether the 765 kV lines and data-center growth proceed, affecting reliability for the Permian region and Houston.

Norris Leads McLaren as Dutch GP Grid Shuffled by Pit-Lane Start

Lando Norris will start from pole for McLaren and lead the 72-lap Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, with George Russell second for Mercedes. Max Verstappen is seventh after a rear-suspension change breached parc fermé rules, forcing Sergio Perez to a pit-lane start and leaving 21 drivers on the starting grid. Yuki Tsunoda is 13th and Liam Lawson eighth, in what the article notes as F1’s final Dutch GP for the foreseeable future.

Trump push to loosen home-appliance efficiency standards faces backlash

The Energy Department proposes weakening or pausing future efficiency updates for home appliances (air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines), arguing it preserves consumer choice and lowers costs, but critics warn it would increase energy use and strain the grid, undo decades of efficiency gains, and could face lawsuits from Democratic-led states; the move mirrors earlier Trump-era efforts and follows other rollbacks since he returned to office.

Norris lands Miami Sprint pole as bizarre penalty reshapes grid

Lando Norris claimed pole for the Miami Grand Prix Sprint after a dominant SQ3, with Kimi Antonelli, Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc filling the front row behind him, while Verstappen and Russell started on the second row and Hamilton seventh. Aston Martin needed permission to race after both cars failed to post a time in SQ1, and Alex Albon was demoted five places due to a track-limit breach in SQ1 that was missed in real time, resulting in the adjusted Sprint starting grid.

Fusion startup eyes grid power by the 2030s with a Virginia plant plan

Fusion startup eyes grid power by the 2030s with a Virginia plant plan

Commonwealth Fusion Systems is advancing its donut-shaped tokamak in Devens, MA, aiming to produce net energy and plug a future 400‑MW fusion plant into PJM’s grid by the 2030s. The demonstration device is about 75% complete and could be operational next year, with the Fall Line Fusion Power Station in Virginia envisioned next. Google and Eni have already secured buyers, and while the grid interconnection process will take years, proponents say fusion could become a grid-ready technology sooner than some expect, despite ongoing challenges in sustaining continuous fusion power.

Trump Pushes Emergency Grid Auction to Make Tech Giants Pay for Data-Center Power

President Trump and Northeast governors will direct grid operator PJM Interconnection to hold a one-time, 15-year reliability auction that would force data-center operators to fund new power plants to curb rising electricity costs driven by data-center demand; if PJM agrees, the plan could backstop roughly $15 billion in new generation and reshape AI-era data-center power dynamics, with the auction targeted by the end of September and PJM not invited to the rollout.
