  "summary": "Google announced a record $15 billion investment in AI infrastructure in Finland through 2028, making it the largest single investment in Europe. The company will also sign a 22-year power agreement with Finnish utility Fortum and explore business models that could support new nuclear reactors at Fortum's Loviisa site. Finland has become a major data-center hub due to its available land and power, with industry professionals referring to it as the \"Texas of Europe.\" Google's president and chief investment officer, Ruth Porat, expressed pride in the company's commitment to grow its presence in Finland responsibly, emphasizing the expansion of technical infrastructure, new energy capacity, grid enhancements, and energy affordability initiatives.",
