We chase the biggest storylines of the week, from crypto price swings and election-driven market nerves to the growing fight over data centers that power AI.

• crypto dip and post-election market uncertainty
• fears about data center regulation and whether it is realistic
• AI bottlenecks around compute, energy, and cooling by 2027 to 2028
• public backlash on water use and why data centers get mischaracterized
