Crusoe walked away from 29 jet turbines it had ordered for AI.

Crusoe walked away from 29 jet turbines it had ordered for AI.

Crusoe cancelled a $1.25 billion order for 29 stationary power plants built by Boom Supersonic. Boom's chief said turbines no longer fit Crusoe's near-term power mix around Abilene. Crusoe will lean on wind, solar, batteries and the grid, and buy turbines elsewhere.

Why it mattersThe rush to power AI data centres is not a straight line upward. Boom just lost the launch customer for a business it built beside its jet.
