      Need to stop this bullshit anyways, fucking up towns, fucking up other areas of consumer tech, and for what exactly? Nothing AI has done has actually improved lives. Like the article says, more than just memory, they can’t even get all the other stuff needed and the power grid isn’t even sufficient.

      Literally trying to beat China at AI when we got to buy parts from China to even compete, already fucking lost. Get fucked investors.

      Wondering if elons data centers will finish on time, as he promised his million robo taxis several years ago would be

      China looks on and smiles

      Environmentalists setting the country back like they did with nuclear power in the 70s

      Edit: Maybe red states will still be able to build so we won’t lose out entirely.

      The energy rate is determined by bids from energy producers to source projected utilization, if bills have gone up, they may not come back down depending on the state’s energy regulatory body.  Even then, if the energy company can “justify” operating and building costs, those rates may never come down.

      I’ve been wondering how much the helium shortage is going to affect this. Helium is critical for manufacturing microchips.

      I spent like 6 years working on electrical infrastructure for data centers.

      Articles a little disingenuous imo, I imagine just get people click so everyone’s like “ yeah were winning!“

      This is pretty much how it’s always been. They have always have a million delays related to resource, regulations, materials, etc. It’s a huge logistical undertaking. They also get canceled all the time.

      It’s all part of it they just bulldog around with unlimited bags of money until they find something to bite. It’s all just a cost of doing business to them.

      No shit! Humans have a natural tendency to over promise and under achieve when times are rolling. The same goes for all these massive nuclear buildouts too! Reckoning day will come eventually and massive scale backs will occur. Aka as bust

    14. khearan on

      Good. Cancel them. Not like they produce any economic or jobs benefit anyway.

      If these Oligarchs have so much money to spend on these things, why don’t they all team up to upgrade the grid, build their own wind farms to power them, develop specialised chips and find out how not to waste so much damn water?

    17. DingbattheGreat on

      Then they can build their own powerplants. No burning. Put a solar farm out there.

      Not enough?

      They can pay for a nuclear site and all its required surveys and fees.

    18. DumbIdeaNo2 on

      This was all for the investors anyhow. They are distracted by other things now. Time to move onto a new promise.

    19. ComprehensiveHa on

      The AI buildout got way ahead of the actual infrastructure needed to support it. Power grid limitations, permitting, and construction timelines don’t move as fast as hype cycles do.

    22. BadAtExisting on

      Oh no! Anyway

      They pollute local waterways, use too much electricity and we all pay for their subsidies. They don’t even really create jobs. Sure while they are being built, then they run on minimal staffing. They leech off the communities they’re built next to

    25. Annoyed_94 on

      Electrical infrastructure cannot support them. But, they won’t invest in public infrastructure. Won’t give back to the communities that initially invested in them and allowed them to build fortunes.

    26. Catch-22 on

      Let’s get a baseline, please: What percent of massive building projects in the US in 2026 face delays or cancellations? Would this headline be non-news if that number was also „nearly half“?

    28. Kind-Conversation605 on

      Good, maybe they can dump all their data center parts on the market and get things back to normal

    29. Inner-Outside-2619 on

      ive been looking for a job doing the data cabling in one these places. with all the news of them going up everywhere i thought it would be easy. I cant find anybody hiring.

    30. Dumpsterfire_47 on

      Those are rookie numbers. We need to ban them entirely unless they build energy infrastructure to support their needs without rising costs for everyone, and have strict regulation with enforceable penalties for handling the waste they produce. 

    32. NoaNeumann on

      I do wonder, if/when the AI bubble bursts, what will happen to the datacenters that they’ve already built? Will they just stand as a testament to techbro’s stupidity? Or will they be used still? Either way, tear em down and make the rich pay for it.

    35. pacwess on

      Meanwhile the U.S. has a temporary „chip advantage,“ China is winning the „energy and equipment race.“ Without a breakthrough in domestic manufacturing for electrical parts, the U.S. may have the world’s best AI models but nowhere to run them.
