e& enterprise launches Intel-based sovereign AI platform

This week on TrendsTalk, ITR Economist Taylor St. Germain examines how soaring data center construction is fueling record-high electricity prices and what that means for your business. With U.S. electric power costs hitting new highs, companies face growing challenges tied to infrastructure strain and future energy policy changes.

Rising Energy Costs Could Threaten Business Growth

When the power grid falters and the world’s servers thirst for more, engineers turn skyward — not for inspiration, but for fuel. Engines on the Ground tells the story of old jet turbines reborn beneath the glow of A.I. racks, a haunting blend of nostalgia and invention. It’s about how progress feeds on the past, and how even the machines that once carried us through the clouds still have work to do — keeping the future alive, one spin at a time. 


Verse 1
In a hangar of the past, where silver wings once soared,
A jet sits still in silence, its flying days ignored.
But someone saw a spark there, a power still to find -
They lit the flame again and left the runway far behind.

Pre-Chorus
When the grid grows weak, when the lights burn thin,
They lift a turbine from the sky and plug the future in.

Chorus
Engines on the ground, turning air to light,
From runway dust to data bays, they fire through the night.
Old wings feed the hunger of A.I.'s rise,
Engines on the ground, powering the wired skies.

Verse 2
There's a shortage on the circuit, a hunger in the code,
And every bit and byte now needs a stronger load.
So we wake the ghosts of thunder, and give them one more spin,
Old engines breathe again to keep the network's pulse within.

Pre-Chorus
No more waiting on the grid, no more slowing down,
The turbines hum their second life beneath the data town.

Chorus
Engines on the ground, turning air to light,
From runway dust to data bays, they fire through the night.
Old wings feed the hunger of A.I.'s rise,
Engines on the ground, powering the wired skies.

Bridge
They once carried human hearts across the endless blue,
Now they power up the minds that dream what we once flew.
From the roar above the clouds to the hum below the floor,
The flight goes on forever, just in a different war.

Chorus (final)
Engines on the ground, turning air to light,
Where once they chased the morning, now they chase the byte.
Old wings feed the hunger of A.I.'s rise,
Engines on the ground, powering the wired skies.

Outro
The jet age never ended, it just changed its sound -
Still flying through the future, engines on the ground.
