- ▶ 8:51 Brian Janous And, and what happened during the 2010 is you had the co-location market sort of fill the gap because every company under-invested in their infrastructure, uh, which is why, you know, Microsoft and Amazon and Google leased capacity from…
- ▶ 13:30 Shayle Kann Yeah, you and I have talked about this before, so correct me where I've gotten how you've explained this to me wrong, but my recollection is that in the, in previous waves here, the way that this market was mostly structured was either,…

- ▶ 26:13 Paul Lambert Um, so I think the ideal customer experience, probably, for a lot of people, does start on the internet, where you do some research, you're probably Googling it anyways, to figure out what a heat pump is, and what, what, what's a good…

- ▶ 18:28 Brian Janous So those, you know, if you drop your new podcast and put it on your, on your website and, you know, it doesn't show up in a Google search for a few minutes, that's not a big deal, right?
- ▶ 37:20 Brian Janous Talking about this in the context of Microsoft, just because I was at that table, but I'm sure the same thing with Google and Amazon and everyone else who've made, you know, enormously ambitious climate commitments, and all of the tech…
- ▶ 39:51 Shayle Kann And by the way, decarbonization, or like, access to clean power at that site, and then ideally access to twenty-four-seven clean power at that site, right, which is the, the goal that the hyperscalers have set for themselves, or at least I…
Drew Baglino on Tesla’s Master Plan
- ▶ 30:35 Shayle Kann So the metrics people are using, I will note there was another, I think it was Google or somebody, one of the other hyperscalers has their own chip that they're building
