The US midterm elections sent a “blue wave” sweeping across the country, with Democrats winning both the House and Senate. And while the historic election has some of the media debating the future of America, it also inspired a series of articles dedicated to “hot Democrats”. Even before the midterms, Vogue ran an article, “We’re Living in a Golden Age of Hot-Guy Politicians”, on October 16. “The Midterms Brought Sexy Back,” read another article by The Cut, with both articles highlighting...

大型資料中心耗電引民怨 谷歌懷俄明新廠計畫面臨挑戰
商傳媒|責任編輯/綜合外電報導隨著人工智慧(AI)應用激增,大型資料中心的擴張正對美國電網與民生造成巨大壓力。科技巨頭谷歌(Google)近期宣布,將投資 170 億美元在懷俄明州(Wyoming)興建其首座資料中心,然而此計畫卻是在美國各地反對資料中心開發的聲浪日益高漲之際提出。 根據《自然》(Nature)期刊與康乃爾大學(Cornell University)的研究指出,由 AI 驅動的資料中心對電力的需求預計將在 2030 年前翻倍,甚至可能在 2035 年暴增 30 倍。這種龐大的用電需求正讓美國電網不堪負荷,導致批發電價上漲,進而推高居民的電費帳單。研究顯示,資料中心所需的基礎設施升級成本有高達 62%(約 51.3 億美元)轉嫁給居民承擔,其中低收入家庭的能源負擔增加幅度,甚至可能佔其收入的 28%。 這股趨勢已引起美國民眾強烈不滿。舉例來說,在俄亥俄州(Ohio),民眾於 11 月 3 日的中期選舉中透過 21 項地方公投,在 18 個社區內支持限制資料中心的開發,反對原因主要包括農地保護、電力需求、水資源消耗以及地方政府的審核流程(即當地政府批准建設和改變土地用途的程序)。例如,威爾明頓(Wilmington)約 80% 的選民否決了四項資料中心開發的土地重新劃分提案,而皮奎(Piqua)居民更以兩倍票數通過了資料中心禁令,並罷免了三名市議員。面對日益加劇的民眾反對,許多政界人士也開始呼籲對資料中心建設實施凍結或暫停令。 在這樣的大環境下,谷歌仍計畫與 Tallgrass Energy、Black Hills Energy、美國電力公司(American Electric Power)和 Related Digital 等四家能源與基礎設施夥伴合作,在懷俄明州的拉勒米縣(Laramie County)建立新的資料中心。谷歌表示,該設施將採用燃料電池發電(計畫裝置 702 百萬瓦),透過電化學過程利用天然氣產生電力,並承諾使用碳捕捉與儲存技術來限制排放。此外,新廠將採用氣冷系統以減少大量水資源消耗,並投資當地水資源補充計畫,以回應居民對電力、用水、噪音及環境衝擊等疑慮。谷歌預計此開發案將為拉勒米縣與第一學區帶來數億美元的財產稅收入,並支持當地的科學技術教育及專業培訓。 儘管科技公司試圖透過技術與社區投資來緩解衝擊,但對資料中心擴張的壓力已不僅限於地方層級。中期選舉後,民主黨重新掌控參眾兩院,預計將對人工智慧和資料中心實施更嚴格的監管。路透社(Reuters)報導,受到此政治氛圍影響,三星電子(Samsung Electronics)、SK海力士(SK Hynix)和台積電(TSMC)等主要半導體公司的股價在 11 月 4 日均出現下跌,反映出市場對未來科技產業發展可能面臨更多限制的擔憂。這也突顯了全球科技供應鏈,特別是台灣晶圓代工產業,可能因美國國內政策變動而間接受到影響。 參考來源 Data centres asymmetrically exacerbate energy burdens throug…(Nature) Data centers need power – lower income, rural residents pay…(Cornell Chronicle) Data Centre Growth Asymmetrically Increases US Household Ene…(Bioengineer.org) Ohio Voters Reject Data Centers as Farmland and Rural Energy…(Agrolatam.com) Midterms: Data center expansion under pressure(Telquel.ma) How data center demand is reshaping electricity costs across…(KMVU FOX 26 Medford) Google plans $17 billion Wyoming data center amid growing US…(#Межа)

In late March 2023, Sergio Ermotti’s telephone rang. Then, he was serving as chairman of Swiss Re and set to renew his term, comfortably ensconced in what appeared to be a dignified, settled chapter of an illustrious banking career. On the other end of the line was UBS chairman Colm Kelleher. A day earlier, Kelleher’s bank had agreed to buy fallen rival Credit Suisse for 3 billion Swiss francs (US$3.66 billion) in a historic, state-brokered rescue – and urgently required a battle-tested hand to...

Reflections | After US midterms, how bitter political divis…
The recent American midterm elections offered yet another glimpse into a political culture increasingly defined by division and hostility. In the state of Ohio, Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy ran an attack advertisement against his Democratic rival, Amy Acton, exploiting painful details of her childhood. President Donald Trump publicly defended the advertisement. The episode was emblematic of a country where political conflict has come to reflect something far more profound...

US President Donald Trump said on Friday that Stephen Miller would replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, elevating a long-time loyalist and architect of his immigration crackdown days after Republicans lost control of Congress. Miller, currently a deputy chief of staff, will take over on Monday. Wiles will move to Trump’s political operation, the president said in a post on Truth Social. “I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the...

Trump left with ‘no good options’ to end Iran war after US…
As Republican losses in the US midterm elections highlight how unpopular the war in Iran is, all eyes are on Washington’s next moves and whether the election results could set the stage for a quicker end to the conflict. However, experts remain sceptical, arguing that while the results will cripple the Trump administration and force it to rethink its strategy, they leave the broader US position unchanged, making a protracted war far more likely than diplomatic talks. Democrats seized full...

Why Malaysia may still face trade uncertainty after US midt…
Malaysia’s hope for a shift in US trade policy is unlikely to be realised for some time, experts warn, as the new Democratic-led Congress will face strong opposition from US President Donald Trump in its attempt to reverse some of his tariff measures. Trump’s Republicans suffered their worst rout in recent times in the US midterm elections on Tuesday, losing control of both Congress and the Senate by wide margins as voters made clear their anger at Trump over surging living costs caused by the...

US President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a proclamation that he says will prevent future changes to the Oval Office and Cabinet Room, throwing up a potential barrier to future presidents who might want to restyle the iconic office that Trump has gradually filled with gold flourishes. The proclamation was Trump’s first official action after his party was swept aside in midterm elections on Tuesday. Sitting on the Resolute Desk as he signed the document was a red baseball cap with “VETO” on...

The Philippines on Thursday voiced optimism that the Democratic Party’s resounding midterm election win would prompt the United States to adopt “a different approach” to President Donald Trump’s hardening immigration crackdown that has ensnared many Filipinos. Trump’s Republican Party was routed in Tuesday’s polls, with the Democrats taking control of both houses of the US Congress and gaining legislative power to check his policies. The drubbing has given hope to Jose Manuel Romualdez, Manila’s...
