Claim 2: “The U.S. electricity grid hasn’t faced a demand shock like this since the post-World War II industrial boom.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim appears verbatim in a single web search result from '24/7 Wall St.'. Other search results discuss the electricity sector and AI plans but do not corroborate the specific historical comparison to the post-WWII industrial boom.

Claim 3: “The Swiss firm said it would not open its branches in London "in light of safety considerations for both our customers and our staff".”
CORROBORATED
The 'My London' source explicitly mentions that stores were closed due to 'safety considerations', which aligns with the claim's phrasing regarding safety for customers and staff. This corroborates the reporting found in the AP results regarding the store closures.
