  In a Divided America, Left and Right Unite to Oppose Data Centers

  The Associated Press reports on growing bipartisan opposition to rapid data center expansion in rural Nebraska and New Mexico, alongside support from some labor leaders and officials.

  • In Cass County, Nebraska, officials approved a 12-month moratorium on data center development, which could affect Tenaska‘s plans to option 1,300-plus acres along Highway 75 and CyrusOne‘s control of nearly 400 acres outside Plattsmouth.
  • In New Mexico, Oracle‘s Project Jupiter faces legal and water-supply opposition; Oracle says it will invest $50 million in water and wastewater systems in Doña Ana County, while the project is described as a $165 billion data center complex and is expected to generate $4.7 billion in taxes.

  Prometheus’ 1.5 GW Pecos Plan Tests Private Power

  Prometheus Hyperscale has announced plans for a 1.5 GW data center campus in Reeves County, Texas, built around an islanded power system rather than an initial ERCOT grid connection.

  • The campus is planned for Pecos / Reeves County, Texas with 1.5 GW IT load, a potential path to 2.5 GW installed generation, and an initial modular delivery target of 100 MW to 150 MW in 2027 if a tenant commitment is secured.
  • The initial fuel concept uses pipeline natural gas with rich-burn reciprocating engines; after Istmo Energy’s co-located fractionation facility enters service in Q1 2028, Prometheus expects an 85% natural gas / 15% ethane baseline and separate methane pipeline connections for redundancy.

  Do We Really Need Mega Next-Gen Data Center Campuses?

  The article explains why hyperscale data center campuses are becoming larger and more complex, offering analysis rather than announcing a new project.

  • It cites Meta’s 3,650-acre Hyperion campus in Richland Parish, Louisiana and mentions a floated 40,000-acre Utah site for Kevin O’Leary’s Stratos concept, later reduced to 20,000 acres.
  • Industry experts from JLL, Omdia, and Dell’Oro Group discuss multi-building campuses, 10-50 MW AI clusters, power and water planning, and the use of on-site generation, dedicated substations, and air-cooled chillers in cooler climates.

  Mobilizing for Techno-Economic War, Part 6: From Free Trade Agreements to Strategic Techno-Economic Agreements

  ITIF has published a policy report proposing Strategic Techno-Economic Agreements (STEAs) as a new framework for U.S.-led trade deals aimed at strengthening allied industries and constraining China.

  • The report argues that the free trade era is over and calls for binding, reciprocal agreements with allies that include zero-for-zero tariffs, digital trade rules, defense production cooperation, investment screening, export-control alignment, and counter-IP theft measures.
  • It also cites several recent or existing policy precedents and announcements, including USTR’s March 2026 Section 301 investigations, the U.S.-U.K. critical minerals MOU, and the Pax Silica initiative; the report itself is an original ITIF publication, not a news report of a single transaction.

  White House Expands Data Center Ratepayer Pledge as Congress Moves to Codify Protections

  The White House expanded its voluntary Ratepayer Protection Pledge to 187 utilities, electric cooperatives, and data-center developers, while Congress advanced the bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act from committee 52-0.

  • The White House said the pledge now covers 187 organizations plus 23 governors, and the coalition “protects” 263 million Americans; signatories commit to fund generation and grid upgrades for their data-center loads without shifting costs to other ratepayers.
  • The House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced H.R. 9340 on July 21; the bill would require state regulators and nonregulated utilities to consider a large-load standard for sites with at least 100 MW peak demand and recover the full incremental cost of grid upgrades. New York’s Executive Order 62 separately put permits for 50 MW+ data centers on hold pending an environmental review.

  Google is customer behind 2.7GW data center campus near Cheyenne, Wyoming

  Google has revealed itself as the company behind the Project Jade data center campus near Cheyenne, Wyoming, and the project has been renamed Project Tembo.

  • The campus is planned on a 716-acre parcel eight miles south of Cheyenne in the Switchgrass Industrial Park and is described as a 2.7GW data center development.
  • The application says four data halls, an office hub, logistics and network buildings are planned, with construction slated to be completed by 2031; the site was previously associated with Crusoe, which said in June it had paused work at the request of its customer.

  Blue Energy, GE Vernova Advance ‘Gas Bridge’ Model to Unlock Nuclear Finance

  Blue Energy and GE Vernova announced a collaborative 2.5-GW gas-plus-nuclear project planned for the Port of Victoria, Texas, and Blue Energy previously signed a strategic partnership with Crusoe to supply nuclear-powered baseload to Crusoe’s AI data center campus.

  • Main announcement: Blue Energy and GE Vernova announced a 2.5-GW collaboration (May 2026) to develop what they describe as the world’s first gas-plus-nuclear power plant at the Port of Victoria, Texas; the agreement includes a slot reservation for two GE 7HA.02 gas turbines (2029 delivery) expected to provide ~1 GW of power by 2030, with up to five BWRX-300 SMRs supporting about 1.5 GW of nuclear generation as early as 2032. The project is subject to a final investment decision in 2027 and Blue Energy plans to apply for an NRC construction permit in 2027.
  • Background & financing details: Blue Energy (founded 2023, emerged from MIT) exited stealth with a $45 million Series A and says its modular prefabrication model could reduce costs from >$10,000/kW to ~$2,000/kW (target later stated) and cut build time from ~10 years to as low as 48 months for the gas-to-nuclear sequence; Blue Energy cites ~$100 million of prior site work on the Port of Victoria tract from Exelon, and GE Vernova brings large equipment and services backlogs (e.g., $87B services backlog, $76B equipment backlog) that factor into supply-chain scaling and timing.
