data center

“Data centers are forecasted to account for 20% of the growth in power demand between now and 2030.”

“We put out at the Department of Energy, we got 16 locations to build data centers. We said, who wants to come build one? We'll permit them right away, We'll help you build power generation right next to it. We got 300 responses. We will announce tomorrow the f…”

“What this executive order will do is establish fast track permitting and ensure that the federal government is working to get data centers, ah, approved and through the permitting pipeline as quickly as possible.”

“We are now seeing hundreds of billions, low hundreds of billions per year being deployed, and we'll see a trillion or two deployed, I think, in the next five years on data centers and this”

“I think it's overstated that how great AI is going to be. I think it's going to be a lot of cool things, and I think some people are going to get caught. We're going to have too many data centers at one point, and I don't care how much electricity they're suck…”

“Because they're competing with a data center that is all co-located, that is funded with traditional finance and those things, like, and yeah, you can put those assets on chain, and that, that's a lot of ways how I think things are going to integrate.”

“40% of the energy in Virginia now is going to data centers.”

“I actually think that if we allow the data centers to stand up their own power generation, it will actually bring down rates. Not only will it not increase residential rates, it will bring it down, and it will do that in two ways.”

“There's no such thing as a dark GPU right now. Every GPU that's been put in a data center is getting used and it's being used to generate tokens.”

“It would fundamentally, I think, cripple the United States in the AI race if we just stopped building data centers altogether.”

“I think one of the things that kills a company like us is trying to grow extremely quickly. Is having to deal with different regulations in each of 14 localities we're trying to put data centers.”

“So the limiting constraint on data centers is always their power footprint. And right now for large deployments, the limiting constraint is how much power can be delivered.”

“I think it's both the obviously the right thing to do and probably not the source of data centers for the next three or four years.”

“About 40% of all protested data centers in America get canceled.”

“There are no idle GPUs in the world sitting in a data center.”

“There's about a hundred data centers right now that are being contested. The data is for every hundred that are contested, about 40 get canceled. That number is increasing for this year. It's more than doubled already from what the number was last year. And th…”

“So as soon as all the states start banning the data centers will just go to space, to Iceland, to Texas, to wherever.”

“Well, I think Chamath is right that the data centers become very unpopular, probably in 30 states they're just going to ban them outright.”

“Would have no data centers and they'd be using AI to censor us and they'd be promoting DEI values through AI that was in the Biden executive order.”

“Bernie Sanders calling for a moratorium, shutting out all data centers. We'd have negative GDP growth this year. The stock market would be down 15 to 20%. Unemployment would be on the rise.”

“You have about nine gigawatts that are supposed to come online this year. Almost 50% of it now is being protested. More than likely, if history holds, most of that will get turned off, so they will get even more supply constraint.”

“Moratorium for data centers for me, that's a China first kinds of policy for that. I'm going to continue to push back that.”

“Natural gas, which is how most of these data centers are powered, is one of the most clean burning sources of power that we have.”

“Yeah, video, like, if I'm going to be wrong on the data centers, it's going to be because of video.”

“You're 500 to 600,000 electricians short just for data centers. Broadband, 150,000. You can't build submarines because we don't have pipe fitters and plumbers.”

“Residuals for private jets are, like, extremely strong these days. And a big part of the reason is people are taking jet engines off old planes and repurposing them as turbines to power data centers.”

“Data centers are going to be three percent of GDP.”

“In the policy document that I worked on, the executive order that I worked on in December, we expressly said that data centers remain a state and local decision.”

“We've seen that in Loudoun County, Virginia, the average taxpayers' property taxes went down by 6000 dollars because they're getting all this data center revenue.”

“I mean, I'm of the belief they're going to switch their position back to being pro data centers because they just are following the wave here.”
