Aw, Phooey! Data Center Demand is HOTTER Than My Temper!

Data Center Alley is Booming!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! It's me Donald Duck reporting LIVE from… well my desk! But I've got the inside scoop on what's happening in ol' Loudoun County Virginia. They call it "Data Center Alley," and let me tell you it's busier than Uncle Scrooge's money bin on payday! All those fancy pants Big Tech companies are building data centers like crazy trainin' their artificial intelligence thingamajigs. It's enough to make ya wanna shout "What's the big idea?!"

No Slowing Down Says Dominion! Quack!

Those fellas at Dominion Energy the ones who keep the lights on say they ain't seen no slowdown! Nope! Their chief financial officer a fella named Steven Ridge told all those Wall Street types that data center customers are still clamoring for more power. More power! As if they ain't got enough already! It's enough to make a duck pull his feathers out!

Tariffs? Recession? Bah Humbug!

Now some folks are worried about President What's His Name's tariffs and all that talk about a recession. They think those Big Tech fellas might slam on the brakes. But the Dominion folks say "Aw phooey!" Those data center customers ain't scared of nothin'! They're still spendin' money like Uncle Scrooge on a shopping spree. 'Hiya toots!'

China's AI Sparks Worry? Not Here!

There's even some jabber about this newfangled AI lab in China DeepSeek and how their model is super energy efficient. Some folks got all jittery and started selling off power stocks. But the Dominion fellas? They're not sweatin' it! They've got 40 gigawatts of data center capacity in the works! That's more power than I use trying to get Daisy to go on a date with me!

Gotta Go Fast! Gotta Go Fast!

Dominion's CEO Robert Blue says those data center folks want to go FAST! Faster than me trying to escape a frying pan! He says they've been serving them just fine and he doesn't see that changing. And those Amazon and Nvidia fellas agree! So there you have it! The demand for data centers is still hotter than my temper when Gladstone Gander steals Daisy away!

Duck Dollars are Up! Hooray!

And get this! Dominion's shares even went up a bit! So while I'm still struggling to make ends meet (thanks a lot Uncle Scrooge!) at least SOMEONE's makin' money! Time for me to go find a quiet pond and cool off. All this talk about data and power is makin' my head spin. Quack!
