Build new data centers near sources of power, and grid capacity isn’t going to be a problem. Heck, American industry used to follow that (building garment factories on fast moving rivers before electricity was much of a thing, Boeing grew up in the northwest due to cheap aluminum helped out by hydro). Why is AI somehow different from an airplane?

    They'll have to build new power generation and build the data centers next to it.

    You are massively conflating what is possible with what is done.

      I know data centers are built next to wind farms for these reasons already. We have an abundance of those projects out here in the PNW.
