The VA lost about 700 social workers and 500 psychologists and psychiatrists over the course of 2025 — a significant change for an agency that was adding mental health staffers nearly every month leading up to Trump’s return to office.

The data centers needed to train AI can consume as much electricity as 200,000 American homes—and the race to create that energy is reshaping the physical world, Matteo Wong reports. https://theatln.tc/TypYpeU7

Conservative analyses forecast that the tech industry will “drop the equivalent of roughly 40 Seattles onto America’s grid within a decade,” Wong writes.

In the short-term, AI companies are leaning on fossil fuels, which they regard as far more reliable and readily available than wind, solar, or nuclear. The International Energy Agency estimates that data-center emissions could more than double by 2030—becoming one of the fastest-growing sources of greenhouse gases in the world, Wong writes.

As the need for carbon-free electricity grows more urgent, Americans are having to reckon with nuclear energy again. The AI boom has provided the nuclear industry with “wealthy backers and an army of tech cheerleaders,” Wong writes. Meta and Amazon are buying electricity from large nuclear-power plants, and nearly every major data-center company is investing in experimental nuclear technologies—especially small modular reactors, which in theory will make fission cheaper and easier to deploy.

“Still, tech firms insist that nuclear and other clean technologies cannot be deployed quickly enough to meet their needs,” Wong continues. To power its data centers, Microsoft is purchasing electricity from an energy company reviving the undamaged reactor on Three Mile Island, but that is taking years to restart. For now, “using existing power sources more wisely, rather than building new ones, may be all the AI industry needs,” but it’s also pushing toward another inflection point.
