Goldman: Local Resistance Against Data Centers "Are Not Slowing Development"
Fierce winter weather across the eastern half of the U.S. put the power grid, data centers, and electricity prices back in focus, especially in the Mid-Atlantic, where Washington, D.C., logged its longest freezing streak since 1989.
Our review of Facebook, X, media coverage, and local officials' comments suggests that the cold snap across the Mid-Atlantic has put data centers and power bills in the spotlight, especially given that PJM Interconnection is already operating in a very tight grid environment.
Even as residents in Mid-Atlantic states increasingly push back against data centers while watching their monthly power bills soar, local officials, some of whom are partly responsible for tightening grid spare capacity with backfiring "green" policies, are scrambling as public anger grows.
However, Goldman analysts led by Hongcen Wei have some disappointing news for residents in the Mid-Atlantic...

If You're Free To Complain about Fascism, You Don't Live In A Fascist Country
Authored by Jenna McCarthy via Jenna's Side,
Many, many years ago—we're talking decades—I got into a fight with a boy I'd been dating for (thankfully) not very long. I can't even recall what the argument was about, but I'll never forget his very last words to me:
“God, you're so stupid.”
“There are plenty of insults you could fling at me that would be accurate,” I informed him by way of a breakup. “Hot-headed, demanding, defensive, defiant, opinionated, unfiltered, gets hangry if not fed every four hours—let me help you out—but make no mistake, stupid isn't one of them.”
I think of that moment every once in a while, for instance when I hear celebrities, Facebook “friends,” or the coven of professional scolds over at The View whining about the “fascist dictator” in the White House. And not because my reaction is “God, you're so stupid”—although it one hundred percent is—b...

Tech Selloff Deepens, Stellantis Faces Billions in Charges | The Opening Trade 2/6/2026 (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Amazon shares dropped after the company announced plans to spend $200 billion this year on data centers, chips and other equipment. The proposal further ignited AI bubble fears, with the Wall Street tech selloff extending into Asia trading hours. The spending planned by Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft in pursuit of AI dominance is forecast to reach $650 billion in 2026.
Elsewhere, Stellantis fell as much as 14% at the European market open after the carmaker announced it will take roughly €22 billion in charges linked to a sweeping overhaul of its operations as high costs and muted electric-vehicle sales force the automaker to adjust its strategy.
