GE Vernova (GEV) is booking turbines years out. Data centers are buying Bloom Energy (BE) fuel cells instead.
Heavy-duty gas turbines are booked years out, so AI data centers are paying for onsite power instead. What GE Vernova, Bloom Energy, Power Solutions International, NRG and EQT each sell into that gap.
Four states now publish how much announced data center demand they actually expect. All four throw out most of it.
Between December 2025 and August 2026, utilities and grid operators in four states each published their own count of how much announced data center demand they expect to serve. Seven filings, no shared method, and every one of them removes most of what it was asked for. None of the figures are new; the pattern across them is.
Pennsylvania will not permit a data center until the town says yes. The state has fully permitted five of more than 100 proposed projects.
Governor Josh Shapiro signed an executive order on Aug. 18 barring Pennsylvania's DEP from issuing a data center permit before the project secures local approval. The state's own count puts more than 100 projects in public databases, 15 with permit applications filed, and five holding every permit needed for a first phase.
AI GPU arrives in weeks. The power gear behind it takes years: GE Vernova (GEV), Vertiv (VRT), Eaton (ETN), Quanta (PWR) and Powell (POWL)
The chip is the easy part. Data centers are stuck waiting on turbines, transformers and switchgear that take years to build. Here's what GE Vernova, Vertiv, Eaton, Quanta and Powell each sell into that shortage, and how big their order books have gotten.
Constellation Energy (CEG) reports Thursday with the stock 35% below its 52-week high

The new US import ban covers cotton, tomatoes, and the capacitor supply chain behind AI servers
DHS added 43 Chinese companies to the UFLPA Entity List on July 31, 2026. Two of them sit in the aluminum electrolytic capacitor chain, the parts that fill AI server power supplies. Nichicon and Nippon Chemi-Con had already raised prices in June, citing aluminum foil costs.
Solar stocks fell again Friday, July 24. T1 Energy (TE) is down 58% since June 2, Enphase (ENPH) 49% and First Solar (FSLR) 36%
The Invesco Solar ETF closed 31% below its May 29 record. Enphase and SolarEdge have lost close to half their value since June 2. The July 4 construction deadline, the expired 25D homeowner credit and a pending Section 232 polysilicon ruling are the drivers.
Hedge fund Millennium disclosed a new 5.2% stake in Ameresco (AMRC) the week the stock hit its lowest point of 2026
Millennium Management's fresh 5.2% stake in clean-energy developer Ameresco (AMRC), worth about $42.5 million, was disclosed the same week the stock touched its lowest weekly close of 2026. The company is also building a still-early data center power business, including a partnership with CyrusOne.
GE Vernova (GEV) raised its cash forecast by $5 billion and fell 8% (July 22, 2026)

Jim Cramer's tech calls are still lagging the rest of his book. Intel is 1 for 5, and IBM crashed the day after his second buy call.
Jim Cramer's tech calls are still his weak spot. Intel is 1 for 5 since June, IBM is down nearly 30% since his back-to-back buy calls, and his tech picks trail the Nasdaq-100 by more than three points a call even after Tuesday's chip bounce.
Kimi AI stopped taking new signups days after launch as GPU demand maxed out. Alphabet (GOOGL), Tesla (TSLA) and Intel (INTC) report into a chip bear market (week of July 20, 2026)
Moonshot paused new Kimi subscriptions three days after K3 launched because its GPUs hit capacity, which was our whole argument for chip stocks. This week: Alphabet, Tesla, Intel and Nokia earnings, $88 oil, and a Kospi reopen.
Nebius (NBIS) signed a $1 billion deal this week. Its stock is down 14% today anyway, worse than the chipmakers.
Nebius signed a $1 billion, multi-year AI compute deal with Reflection AI, and its stock is still down about 14% today. The pressure has spread well past chips: CoreWeave, crypto miners like IREN and Cipher Mining, power stocks like Talen Energy and Vistra, and now New York's data-center moratorium and a Trump-Hochul clash are all weighing on the same trade.
Jim Cramer's tech calls, like Micron and Intel, are missing far more than everything else
We pulled 23 of Jim Cramer's stock calls from late April through early July and checked the real numbers. His tech picks are down 7.2% on average with just 1 winner out of 10. His other calls are roughly flat, and just under half are green.

Today's AI rotation map: out of the chips, into software, power and the frontier
A snapshot of Monday's rotation: as the AI build-out sold off, money moved into software (ServiceNow, Adobe), AI power (GE Vernova), quantum, space and cyber. A one-day picture that can flip fast.
It is not just the chips: optics, memory and the neo-clouds all sold off this morning
The whole AI build-out sold off Monday morning, not just semiconductors. Optical names like Coherent (COHR) led the drop, memory (MU) and the neo-clouds fell hard, and Nebius (NBIS) was the lone holdout. What is going on.
Meta is funding an entire gas plant in Alberta to power its AI. Here's what that means for CEG, VST and OKLO.
AI data centers need enormous, around-the-clock electricity, and the grid wasn't built for it. That's reviving nuclear, pushing Meta to fund an entire new gas plant in Alberta, and pulling solar into the mix too. Here's the demand, the deals, the stocks, and the risks worth respecting.
The AI stock map: every layer of the trade, from sand to software
A top-to-bottom deep dive on the AI supply chain, from the machines that make the chips down to the hyperscalers writing the checks, and how every layer pushes and pulls on the others.
