AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

AI & PFAS Backlash: A new report is stoking fresh alarm about “forever chemicals” near AI data center expansion and herbicide manufacturing, with PFAS found in soil and groundwater and regulators now being urged to investigate. Energy Grid Tension: Dominion is pitching a new natural gas plant while also touting a carbon-free buildout—environmental groups argue renewables can scale faster and that gas will still raise long-term costs. Space Tech Leap: NASA is developing a radiation-hardened AI chip for spacecraft, aiming for far more onboard autonomy for missions beyond Earth. Data Center Pressure Cooker: From Virginia to Utah, communities are pushing back on data centers over water, power, and health concerns, while new fiber corridors are being planned to feed the boom. Cyber Resilience Push: A Virginia lawmaker-backed bill would set enforceable federal recovery targets after cyberattacks. STEM in the Spotlight: Home infusion leaders gathered for NHIA 2026, and Virginia’s research and healthcare innovation continues to draw attention.
