lol, and it’s probally because someone got through to him that most of these projects look impossible to finish in a reasonable timeline. And that there is not yet proof that the demand will be there for what they are specifically building at the end of the timeline.
He gets to act like he’s making a compromise when really he’s just covering his ass.
The one he was planning was going to use 9 gigawatts of electricity at peak load.
My entire country, a million and change population, has never used more than about 1.6 gigawatts. That includes our multiple NON-AI data centers.
There is a demand for the data centers, but its not ai. That's just the excuse. They're building a surveillance state to track everyone. You thought the Chinese social credit system was bad just wait for the American freedom to lick billionaire boots surveillance system where anyone critical of the new nobility gets locked out of social mobility.
