The phrase “AI runs in the cloud” is useful until you picture an actual cloud. Then it becomes misleading. AI runs in buildings. Those buildings are filled with chips, cables, cooling systems, backup equipment, security gates, substations, and people who care very much whether the power stays on. Every search, training run, video model, recommendation system, and business workflow sits on top of a physical energy system. The future of AI is partly a software story, but it is also a power story.

Fusion Power Reality Check: The Star in a Bottle Still Has to Become a Power Plant

Fusion is the energy dream that refuses to leave the room. It promises the kind of power story people want to believe in: abundant fuel, no carbon dioxide from operation, no chain reaction like a fission reactor, and the basic physics that powers the sun. The phrase “star in a bottle” is dramatic, but it points at the real idea. Fusion tries to make light atomic nuclei join together, releasing energy, while keeping the process controlled on Earth.
