Meta Platforms to Charge Advertisers New Fees in Europe to Cover Digital Taxes

Meta (NASDAQ:META) AI spending report triggers $137 billion swing in stock value

Meta Platforms shares rallied Wednesday after a report said the Facebook owner could start renting out extra AI computing power. The move would shake up the main stock debate, which had centered on whether Meta’s AI spending was too high to pay off. Reuters, via Bloomberg, said Meta is working on a cloud business that might sell access to AI models on its servers and could also offer raw compute capacity for sale. The swing in the market forced a shift in the numbers. Meta was last quoted at $616.64, up $53.35, or 9.5%, from its previous finish at $563.29. That move puts about $136.8 billion more on Meta’s market cap, nearly matching the $135 billion middle of its $125

Energy Consumption in Data Centers

Data Centers Are Power Hogs—These Technologies Are Finally Fixing That

Data centers – the engine rooms of our digital world – consume astonishing amounts of electricity. Globally, data centers already use an estimated 1–2% of all electricity, and this could surge to over 20% by 2030 as AI demands grow mitsloan.mit.edu. In the U.S., data centers drew about 4.4% of national power in 2023, a figure that may double or even triple by 2028 energy.gov. This immense appetite for energy has earned data centers a reputation as “power hogs.” The good news? A wave of emerging technologies – from efficient chips and cooling systems to smart software, greener designs, and clean energy – is finally taming data centers’ power hunger.
