3) In order to support the ever-growing power demand for AI computing, Google's parent company Alphabet officially announced on Monday the acquisition of clean energy developer Intersect for $4.75 billion, reflecting the tech giant's urgent need for energy supply security in the AI arms race. Intersect is strong, with project assets under development or construction valued at up to $15 billion. It is expected that by 2028, the power generation capacity it puts into operation will reach 10.8 gigawatts, a figure that is astonishingly more than 20 times the power generation of the Hoover Dam, becoming the strongest power heart of Alphabet's data centers.
