Oh ja, so right you are.  What I meant was our attitude toward data centers is developing a political orientation.  

 

This gives new emphasis to the office of POTUS, since the executive branch participates in granting permits to build power infrastructure, in environmental regulation and so forth.  The current administration is all about go ahead, build away but supply your own power.  There is investment capital up the kazoo currently wanting to jump into AI and data centers.  The money is there, the opportunity is there.  A remarkable confluence of positive factors has occurred, right when we needed it most, if we ever hope to develop a SAI, which will be really great if it doesn’t kill everyone.  Now is the time.
