Newsom's unscripted responses were the best part of the interview. His gut-level response to JD Vance's "Heritage Americans" was excellent. Vance's rejection of the American creed is not new in U.S. politics but has become more dangerous with ubiquitous social media.

Dominion Energy forecast that its peak demand would rise by more than 75% by 2039 with data centers. It would be just 10% without. Against that backdrop, power costs have become a key issue in this year’s gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

In the US, power demand from data centers is set to double by 2035, to almost 9% of all demand. It will be the biggest surge in US energy demand since air conditioning in the 1960s. That comes as the grid is already struggling to update aging infrastructure. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...
