    AI Boom Drives Need for $110 Billion in U.S. Power Plants

    The rapid expansion of AI data centers in the U.S. is creating a significant demand for new power plants, according to Moody's. By 2030, $110 billion (R$ 565.8 billion) will be needed to build 45 gigawatts of new power generation capacity. The increased demand for power is outpacing the ability of the grid to supply it, leading to delays in data center construction and increased electricity costs.

    Israel's Struggle Against Hamas Propaganda

    Israel is struggling in the information war against Hamas, according to Ben-Dror Yemini. Instead of merely refuting genocide claims, Israel should shift its strategy to expose Hamas' ideology and goals, using statements from Hamas leaders themselves. Yemini criticizes the approach of pursuing every testimony from the film 'The Great Hack', arguing it exhausts resources and gives the accusers control over the narrative. He proposes using full-page ads in international newspapers to counter Hamas' propaganda.
