If they don’t connect to the grid, most of the rules do not apply.  The notion is that AI data centers generate their own power:

>… and they will not get that approval from our senile and massively corrupt president.  So I repeat again, where the hell are they supposed to build these much needed solar and wind farms?

 

On private land, and do not connect to the grid.  Use the power on site for AI.

 

 

>…Do you honestly believe we can beat the Chinese in the AI race with an attitude like that?!

 

Sure can.  We have a lot of capital eager to jump on data centers and power stations to drive them.

 

  >…Do you think Xi would have that attitude towards a Chinese company wanting to build a solar or wind farm on land owned by the Chinese government?

 

Solar and wind power are poorly suited to AI centers.  Those are too capital intensive to suffer intermittency.

 

>…Why why why do you defend this insanity? I've been asking that question since 2016 and I still haven't received an answer that makes any sense.

John you and I do not control who gets elected to office.  My solution is to not depend on government investment and take advantage of the current political environment which encourages data centers, so long as they bring their own power, which they damn well should.
