I\u2019m currently around 1,000 feet beneath the North Sea, in a dark, dank cave. It smells weird. And I\u2019m increasingly aware of the pressure from millions of tons of seawater just above my head.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m under the iconic fjords of Norway to visit what will soon become the world\u2019s longest and deepest subsea road tunnel\u2014an exceptional engineering feat that will carry drivers deep beneath the North Sea.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m here to understand how you make a 16.6-mile highway that sits 1,280 feet below the sea at its deepest point. And also\u2014at a time when it can feel hard to get anything done\u2014to reassure myself that ambitious engineering is still possible. That we can still make things.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Step inside Norway\u2019s Rogfast tunnel and see how engineers are making it happen.<\/p>\n

Subscribe now to get a copy when it lands on Wednesday!<\/strong><\/p>\n The AI boom is putting unprecedented pressure on the electric grid. But rather than rushing to build new power plants, companies could find part of the solution right under our noses\u2014or, more precisely, in the transmission lines under our feet and above our heads.<\/p>\n If data centers can limit the power they draw during high-demand stretches, they won\u2019t need to wait for big infrastructure upgrades or build their own off-grid generation.<\/p>\n The idea of flexibility isn\u2019t entirely foreign to grid operators. But a new generation of software could make the process faster, smarter, and more precise for the AI era.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n #worlds #deepest #longest #subsea #road #tunnel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m currently around 1,000 feet beneath the North Sea, in a dark, dank cave.
