The post SoftBank Bets Big on AI: €75 Billion to Build Massive French Data Hub appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SoftBank Group has committed up to €75 billion to develop 5 gigawatts of artificial intelligence data center capacity in France, its largest AI infrastructure investment in Europe. The pledge was announced at the 2026 Choose France summit in Paris, where President Emmanuel Macron secured commitments of tens of billions in foreign investment. SoftBank cited France’s low-carbon grid, industrial land, and engineering talent as primary factors behind its selection.

The post Will AI Break The Grid? It Depends On How We Use Every Electron appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A newly constructed data center in Middenmeer, the Netherlands. getty After years of relatively flat power consumption in many advanced economies, utilities are revising load forecasts upward, and data centers are competing for grid connections. In Northern Virginia, in the data center valley, it might take 14 years for a data center to gain access to the grid. Yet, the electrons are needed now. Many pundits fear: AI will break the grid. This argument misses one important feature of electric systems: demand growth also drives adaptation. Electricity demand is far from a fixed number that utilities simply need to satisfy by simply adding more power plants. New generation will be needed, but modern power systems also adapt through efficiency improvements, short- and long-term storage, demand flexibility, and better utilization of existing infrastructure. I sat down with leaders a
