State and federal energy ministers said investments in new renewable generation and energy storage should “fully offset” new data centres’ energy needs Power hungry datacentres that are growing to meet the energy demand of artificial intelligence could be forced to invest in enough new solar and wind generation to completely cover their electricity needs. State and federal energy ministers agreed at a meeting last week that datacentres across the country should “fully offset” their electricity demand through investments in new renewable generation and energy storage.

The post BlackRock’s Fink Spots Three U.S. Bottlenecks: Crypto Has 15 Altcoins Building the Answer appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TLDR: Larry Fink identified power, compute, and chips as critical U.S. shortfalls, putting 15 altcoins in focus. Five compute tokens including $TAO and $RENDER offer decentralized GPU access below traditional cloud pricing. Power tokens like $EWT and $POWR enable peer-to-peer renewable energy trading without central intermediaries. Chip-focused tokens such as $HNT, $IOTX, and $CHIP build hardware and lending layers for AI infrastructure. Altcoins tied to U.S. shortages in power, compute, and chips are gaining fresh attention across digital asset markets. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink recently named these three sectors as critical bottlenecks for the American economy. The crypto community has identified 15 blockchain projects that directly target each of these gaps. With BlackRock managing more than $11 trillion in assets, Fink’s remarks carry weight among
Residents say AI factories with unknown environmental impacts are being rushed into development as proponents argue Australia must ride the data boom or be left behind Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast When West Footscray resident Sean Brown takes his 19-month-old boy to the park, their walk passes an imposing new building cheerily spruiked as “Australia’s largest hyperscale AI factory”, a datacentre called M3. He hates it: the construction noise from its constant expansion, the looming towers and the insistent background hum, the exhaust from the growing array of diesel generators that power the ranks of servers inside.
