I’m of the (possibly unpopular) opinion that ~80% of these new data centers are never going to see the light of day. None of the economics or supply needs of these things make any sense. The water is generally not there, electric transformers are next to impossible to acquire. I just read about one in Utah that’s supposed to be 2.5x the size of Manhattan?? https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/933687/u... I could be wrong, but I think a lot of this was planned by software guys who are used to brute-forcing their way through “impossible” problems. But those were software problems, where the limits are mostly theoretical. In the world of atoms, limitations are real. |

Transformers aren't so complex that production can't increase. Most water is used for agriculture and right now the data centers can pay more for it.
