AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

AI and the Grid: AI data centers’ soaring power needs are driving interest in natural gas and solar while adding pressure to electric grids. A $581 million federal-backed TVA program will fund grid upgrades across eight states, including transmission work in North Carolina. Defense Manufacturing: Corvid plans a $95 million defense plant expansion in North Carolina, while a separate drone research and development center is planned for Richfield. Health Research: UNC School of Medicine is testing CAR T-cell therapy for lupus, repurposing a cancer treatment for an autoimmune disease with no cure. PFAS: A report says a North Carolina textile plant released millions of times the EPA limit for “forever chemicals”; another finds PFAS in surface water statewide. Space and AI: NC State graduate Christina Koch has been named NASA’s acting deputy chief engineer, and UNC-Chapel Hill has launched a new AI minor open to students across majors.

Note: AI summary from news headlines; neutral sources weighted more to help reduce bias in the result. Feedback is welcome. Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions about the AGP Executive Report.
