Only 322 miles of high-voltage transmission were built in 2024—the third slowest year in 15 years. A decade ago we added 4,000 miles. This shows how far behind the grid is from what AI, electrification, and industry now require.

Interconnection is becoming a choke point for AI growth. Over 40,000 projects are waiting to be connected to the grid, with average timelines now at five years—slowing data center developers, utilities, and the tech firms that depend on them.

Goldman Sachs is dominating 2025 M&A—advising on 34% of a $3.8 trillion market. It’s their highest share since 2015, and they now command over 10% of global advisory fees, the strongest position since 2001.

The USCC report finds China supplying dual-use tech to Russia, using Hong Kong as a sanctions-evasion hub, enabling North Korea to launder cybercrime funds through Chinese networks. The interconnectedness is the warning.

USCC report says China is now a central hub for global sanctions evasion—supporting Russia, Iran, and North Korea, and using a shadow fleet to move sanctioned oil worldwide. The scale of the activity is far larger than assumed.

The EPA may roll back rules on PFAS—chemicals that persist in water, the environment, and even human blood. PFAS exposure is tied to cancers and immune suppression, making any pullback a serious public health concern.
