Protecting AI leadership requires more than building data centers. It also depends on securing the power grid against space weather threats. To win the artificial intelligence (AI ) race—America is pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into data centers—facilities that demand pristine, “clean” electrical power for sensitive equipment. Yet an invisible threat from the sun can turn those massive investments into costly liabilities for the United States and hand China the upper hand in this global competition. The threat is insidious and potentially inevitable . Solar storms hurl charged particles at Earth, disturbing our planet’s magnetic field and inducing powerful currents in the Earth’s crust. These “ground-induced…Open
Northern lights could be seen further south than usual with the expected arrival of three coronal mass ejections, according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center.
To secure the US power grid, FERC must provide strong financial incentives to accelerate deployment of proven protection technologies. The Center for Security Policy and the Secure the Grid Coalition filed a formal Complaint with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), docketed as EL26-49-000, this month. This is not another bureaucratic footnote. It is a direct challenge to the electric utility industry’s dangerous complacency—and a lifeline for the continuity of American society itself. The complaint asks FERC to do one simple, urgent thing: order the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC ) to assess and protect America’s bulk power system against ground-induced currents (GICs) to the international…Open

PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: A NASA spacecraft weighing approximately just over half a ton is set to reenter Earth’s atmosphere after nearly 14 years in orbit. WHO WAS INVOLVED: NASA, U.S. Space Force, and scientists monitoring the Van Allen Probe A. WHEN & WHERE: Reentry is expected around 7:45 PM ET on March 10, 2026 , with a 24-hour uncertainty. KEY QUOTE: “The risk of harm coming to anyone on Earth is low—approximately 1 in 4,200.” – NASA. IMPACT: With most debris likely to land in oceans, the risk to human life is minimal at approximately 0.02 percent. IN FULL An over half-ton National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA ) satellite, the Van Allen Probe A, will make an uncontrolled descent through the Earth’s…Open
