Cooling Crisis

mechanism
AI machines now run so hot they're outstripping the power grid and forcing companies to build nuclear plants and move to the Arctic.
Who they are

The heat problem created by dense AI data centers.

What they do

The engine reads it as a force pushing major changes in how and where computing gets powered and located.

How it works

The thermal limits exceed what power grids can handle, driving new nuclear construction, relocation to cold Arctic sites, and a broader rebalancing to manage the heat.

Why it matters

It shows that the physical reality of heat is reshaping the energy and geography of the tech industry.

The engine's record — word for word
Data center thermal limits exceed power grids. Forces nuclear buildout (Genesis), Arctic relocation (Cold Compute), thermodynamic rebalancing.
