"Crusoe abandons $1.25B plan to power AI data centers with Boom turbines" — TechCrunch · AI & Technology
Energy, a Denver-based AI data center startup that recently raised $3.9 billion, has scrapped a planned $1.25 billion deal to power its data centers with stationary gas turbines from Boom Supersonic — the company better known for building supersonic jets. The cancellation was disclosed by Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl, who said the new stationary power plants are no longer in Crusoe's near-term plans. It's a notable reversal for a high-profile energy-for-AI deal.
The claim rests on TechCrunch's reporting, which cites Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl's public statement — a named primary source — so it's solid as a report of that statement, though it reflects only Boom's account and not a comment from Crusoe. The reporting sits close to the primary source, making the core fact of the cancellation credible but not independently confirmed by Crusoe.
