You asked a question. Have you ever designed a transmission, distribution, line, or a substation, or modeled a electric utility distribution network? Have you ever lived off the grid. Much of Alaska is off the Alaska grid and Alaska is off the North America grid. IMHO data centers are putting the cart before the horse. This is going to be problematic. They certainly would benefit from supplying thier own power, however the cost won’t come cheap and supply will be delayed.

What question did I ask? Other than the hard asset question

I’ve lived off grid most of my adult life,,,, in Alaska,in Mongolia,in British Columbia,in Argentina

The US has 1% of all uranium in the world, mining is the ?

Nuclear warhead's have uranium in them, and we have a few warhead's
It would need to be reprocessed for power plants
So we have the material

I think we are facing bigger problems in this country than AI data centers and the government watching us.

Ya don't say?

And Kidd...... quit posting pics of burgers unless you intend to come here right now and cook me one.......lol.

It needed "paused" for states/counties/ townships to get ordinances in place.

You're going to get the people in the AI cult upset
And it is a cult at this point

Almost 300 billion invested last year, and they only got back 20 billion
And that wasn't profit, that's all that came back into those 2 companies
Open AI and Anthropic are both a scam
IMO

TX Burger is the best though

… I’ll ride 50 miles out of the way to get one

Looks like a 1/8th pound burger. Culver’s style. If it doesn’t have a 1/3 pound of meat on it, it’s not a burger.

…. They’re a fairly good size

Those onion rings looks good.

... this thread has gone from data center debates to mullets and burgers?
