Powell asks watchdog to probe Fed HQ renovations as Trump pressure grows
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell told lawmakers on Monday that he has asked the central bank's watchdog to scrutinize renovations of the Fed's headquarters, in response to growing criticism from the Trump administration of the plan. Powell called on the Fed's inspector-general, Michael Horowitz, to examine the project's cost, which has ballooned to $2.5 billion, as well as any other aspect he deems appropriate, according to a person familiar with the request. The request was referenced in a letter, first reported by POLITICO, that Powell sent to Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), the top Democrat on the committee. Speculation has mounted that President Donald Trump, who has clashed with Powell for refusing to cut interest rates, might try to use the renovations to remove the Fed chief 'for cause,' as allowed by statute. Still, it is unclear what type of behavior would fall under that standard. It has generally been interpreted to mean that the president cannot fire Fed board members over policy disagreements, and the Supreme Court signaled in a recent order that it might block a move to remove the Fed chair without cause. Horowitz, who was appointed by Powell last month, was previously the inspector general for the Justice Department, where he won praise from Trump and his supporters for uncovering problems in the FBI's handling of the investigation into potential collusion between Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia. Powell wrote in the letter that the IG has had 'full access to project information on costs, contracts, schedules, and expenditures and receives monthly reports on the construction program.' 'The Board's IG conducted an audit in 2021 to assess the Board's process for planning and managing multiple renovation projects as well as procuring services under various renovation-related contracts,' he added. 'I have asked the Board's IG to take a fresh look at the project.' A spokesperson for Scott said the Banking chair looks forward to receiving more information about 'the costly renovations at the Fed's headquarters.' 'Chairman Scott has continued to call for increased transparency and accountability at the Federal Reserve, and this letter is consistent with improving the communication and transparency he is seeking,' a spokesperson for the senator said in a statement to POLITICO. Axios earlier reported news of Powell's request to the IG. The headquarters renovation, which has been underway for multiple years, is a new front in the administration's criticism of the Fed. Powell was asked at a hearing last month by Scott about the project after a New York Post article characterized it as akin to the 'Palace of Versailles,' a characterization the Fed chief disputed. White House Budget Director Russ Vought — along with the National Capital Planning Commission — is investigating Powell over both the testimony he provided to Congress and questions about whether the construction project adhered to the National Capital Planning Act. Powell wrote in his letter that the Fed chose to consult with NCPC but is not subject to its jurisdiction. He also said the project has changed from its original proposal. 'As is to be expected in the major renovation of nearly 100-year-old historic buildings, the Board's designs have continued to evolve over the course of the project, and some features of the buildings, including rooftop spaces and new water features on the building grounds, were scaled back or eliminated as the project moved forward,' Powell said in the letter. 'These changes simplified the project and reduced the likelihood of further delays and cost overruns. None of them added cost to the project. We do not consider these changes to be substantial.' National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said on ABC News on Sunday that the question of whether Trump can fire the Fed chair is 'a thing that's being looked into.' Hassett is one of four candidates to replace Powell when his term ends next year, according to people familiar with the administration's deliberations.

Tony Clark says FBI investigation hasn't changed his job leading MLB players' union
ATLANTA — Asked if a federal investigation has jeopardized his work leading the baseball players' union, Tony Clark said Monday afternoon that his job is unchanged. 'My work is the same as it's always been,' Clark said during batting practice prior to the Home Run Derby at Truist Park. 'And our responsibility is to continue to protect and advance the rights of our players.' Advertisement In some of his first public comments on the matter, Clark, the executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, gave little insight into the probe that has embroiled officials inside both the MLBPA and the NFL's union. The investigation, which is being conducted by the Eastern District of New York, is related to OneTeam Partners, a licensing company the two unions co-own with three other sports unions. Clark declined to say whether he personally is under investigation. Nor would he disclose what he understands the status of the probe to be or when he believes it could conclude. 'My response to those three (questions), and probably any other one you're going to ask associated with it, is going to be the same,' Clark said. 'We understand that there's an investigation. That investigation is ongoing. We have been and will continue to be fully cooperative as a result.' Clark and the players in the union have retained different outside lawyers in response to the investigation. So too have Lloyd Howell Jr., the head of the NFL Players Association, and his union. The Athletic previously reported on a move that raised alarm within one of the unions. In that instance, a proposal to modify an equity program at OneTeam Partners created controversy last year when an NFLPA official alleged that the plan had the potential to lead to union officials enriching themselves. Officials from multiple sports unions, including Howell and Clark, sit on OneTeam's board of directors. Both Clark and Howell signed a resolution last June supporting the plan. OneTeam Partners, which the NFLPA owns a 44 percent stake in and the MLBPA a 22 percent stake, said the plan was not ultimately enacted and that it was part of 'an exploratory review to determine whether the company could lawfully offer incentive-based compensation to current and prospective board members.' Advertisement OneTeam has also said that 'OneTeam is not the subject of the investigation and has not been accused of any wrongdoing in any way.' The company declined additional comment Monday. The NFLPA last winter retained an outside firm, Linklaters, to review the matter. Now, the FBI is involved. The full scope of the investigation is unclear. The Eastern District of New York has not publicly commented. It's been a long run of controversy for Clark. Just before Opening Day in 2024, some players and a former MLBPA lawyer challenged Clark and pushed him to fire his second-in-command, Bruce Meyer. Later, at the end of 2024, an anonymous complaint about Clark was filed to the National Labor Relations Board. It's a crucial time for the union with the sport's owners and players nearing another round of collective bargaining. The current agreement expires after the 2026 season, and negotiations are expected to get underway no later than next summer. 'Regardless of what is going on around us, my first focus, my second focus and my last focus is going to be to ensure that the players are educated on the things that they need to be educated on in preparation for whatever tomorrow's going to look like,' Clark said Monday when asked about the string of bad news. Commissioner Rob Manfred said in June that he was following news of the federal investigation into Clark. 'Honestly, I've read the articles. I think you would think I was somewhat negligent if I haven't,' Manfred said. 'Beyond reading the articles, there's not much for us to do. One thing: you know, I did spend a year in a federal district court when I was a kid. One thing you learn about FBI investigations: let them do their thing and stay out of their way, and that's where we are.' Manfred subsequently said players have been out of step with the MLBPA's leadership. Clark responded at the time in a statement saying Manfred was trying to divide players.

Tech giants scramble to meet AI's looming energy crisis
The artificial intelligence industry is scrambling to reduce its massive energy consumption through better cooling systems, more efficient computer chips, and smarter programming -- all while AI usage explodes worldwide. AI depends entirely on data centers, which could consume three percent of the world's electricity by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. That's double what they use today. Experts at McKinsey, a US consulting firm, describe a race to build enough data centers to keep up with AI's rapid growth, while warning that the world is heading toward an electricity shortage. "There are several ways of solving the problem," explained Mosharaf Chowdhury, a University of Michigan professor of computer science. Companies can either build more energy supply -- which takes time and the AI giants are already scouring the globe to do -- or figure out how to consume less energy for the same computing power. Chowdhury believes the challenge can be met with "clever" solutions at every level, from the physical hardware to the AI software itself. For example, his lab has developed algorithms that calculate exactly how much electricity each AI chip needs, reducing energy use by 20-30 percent. - 'Clever' solutions - Twenty years ago, operating a data center -- encompassing cooling systems and other infrastructure -- required as much energy as running the servers themselves. Today, operations use just 10 percent of what the servers consume, says Gareth Williams from consulting firm Arup. This is largely through this focus on energy efficiency. Many data centers now use AI-powered sensors to control temperature in specific zones rather than cooling entire buildings uniformly. This allows them to optimize water and electricity use in real-time, according to McKinsey's Pankaj Sachdeva. For many, the game-changer will be liquid cooling, which replaces the roar of energy-hungry air conditioners with a coolant that circulates directly through the servers. "All the big players are looking at it," Williams said. This matters because modern AI chips from companies like Nvidia consume 100 times more power than servers did two decades ago. Amazon's world-leading cloud computing business, AWS, last week said it had developed its own liquid method to cool down Nvidia GPUs in its servers - - avoiding have to rebuild existing data centers. "There simply wouldn't be enough liquid-cooling capacity to support our scale," Dave Brown, vice president of compute and machine learning services at AWS, said in a YouTube video. - US vs China - For McKinsey's Sachdeva, a reassuring factor is that each new generation of computer chips is more energy-efficient than the last. Research by Purdue University's Yi Ding has shown that AI chips can last longer without losing performance. "But it's hard to convince semiconductor companies to make less money" by encouraging customers to keep using the same equipment longer, Ding added. Yet even if more efficiency in chips and energy consumption is likely to make AI cheaper, it won't reduce total energy consumption. "Energy consumption will keep rising," Ding predicted, despite all efforts to limit it. "But maybe not as quickly." In the United States, energy is now seen as key to keeping the country's competitive edge over China in AI. In January, Chinese startup DeepSeek unveiled an AI model that performed as well as top US systems despite using less powerful chips -- and by extension, less energy. DeepSeek's engineers achieved this by programming their GPUs more precisely and skipping an energy-intensive training step that was previously considered essential. China is also feared to be leagues ahead of the US in available energy sources, including from renewables and nuclear. tu/arp/bjt Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
