Beshear criticized the lack of details on scope, power needs and environmental implications, while DOE says it notified his office in advance. The project—funded by NextEra Energy and Brookfield—has sparked local and state scrutiny over electricity costs, environmental impact, and governance as Beshear weighs a potential presidential run and issues an executive order to set standards for data centers.

Utilities Stocks Plummet as Treasury Yields Surge

The utilities sector, represented by the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU), is lagging behind other S&P groups as U.S. Treasury yields continue to rise, reaching fresh highs for the year. The 10-year yield is at its highest level since August 2007, while the 30-year yield is approaching its 2010 high. This surge in yields is providing income-oriented investors with alternative options, causing a sell-off in utilities. NextEra Energy (NEE) is among the biggest losers, plunging 11.9%. The utilities sector is now down 21% year-to-date, compared to an 11% gain in the S&P 500.
