In addition, shallow fog in parts of the city worsened visibility that affected flights and trains.

The 15-year agreement anchors Hut 8’s shift toward long-duration AI infrastructure revenue as hyperscalers seek power-first compute capacity. Bitcoin mining company Hut 8 signed a 15-year, $7 billion lease to deliver 245 megawatts of artificial intelligence data center capacity at its River Bend campus in Louisiana, marking one of the biggest infrastructure agreements between a crypto-native company and hyperscale AI demand.  Hut 8 announced on Wednesday that infrastructure provider Fluidstack will lease the capacity, while Google will provide a financial backstop covering lease payments and related obligations over the 15-year base term.
