Data is the next utility. America should start treating it like one. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On a recent drive through Raleigh on Interstate 40, I found myself watching lane after lane of traffic moving alongside me. Trucks carried goods, commuters moved between homes and workplaces, and businesses depended on those roads to reach customers, workers, and suppliers. The highway was not the economy itself, but it was the network that allowed commerce and daily life to move. The digital economy increasingly depends on infrastructure in much the same way. Banks clear transactions through da
McDowell joins NC data center pause (opens the original)
Read excerpt
McDowell County has paused data center development for six months as North Carolina policymakers weigh how to attract artificial intelligence investment while addressing electricity demand, water use, tax policy, and infrastructure costs. They have joined at least 30 other counties and towns in the state. “A growing number of local governments across North Carolina and the country are imposing pauses or bans on the construction of data centers in their communities,” said Brian Balfour, senior vi
NC can protect ratepayers without driving away data centers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
North Carolina has strong reasons to remain competitive for data center investment.

If the 11th Congressional District Republican Executive Committee chooses a sitting state legislator, that person would leave the General Assembly ballot. Republicans would then need to name a replacement fo
Ceuta’s border collapse is a warning for NC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In roughly 24 hours, about 50,000 migrants crossed illegally from Morocco into Ceuta, overwhelming the Spanish enclave by land and sea. Ceuta’s mayor-president placed the total closer to 60,000. At least 57 people died. The scale was extraordinary, but the lesson was familiar: Once deterrence disappears, a border can collapse faster than a government can restore it. North Carolinians should not dismiss Ceuta as a distant European crisis. A failed national border never remains a border-state prob
