      That would be too reasonable.

      What they’ll do is they’ll ask for subsidies to build power plants, privatise them, sell the power at increasingly extortionate rates and cut maintenance costs to increase their margins and profits.

      Possibly.

        That’s effectively why Microsoft’s plan to restart Three Mile Island is stalled out. They want it to be paid by taxpayer dollars despite (as far as I know) having no plans to provide the generated electricity to taxpayers.

    Is it because the training/use needs to happen within a single datacenter? Or are they saying that there are not enough data center capacity in total in the world to meet the demand?
