It appears this basically locks out Google, Amazon and Meta. Why are we declaring OpenAI as the winner? This is like declaring Netscape the winner before the dust settled. Having the govt involved in this manner can’t be a good thing.
~$125B per year would be 2-3% of all domestic investment. It's similar in scale to the GDP of a small middle income country. If the electric grid — particularly the interconnection queue — is already the bottleneck to data center deployment, is something on this scale even close to possible? If it's a rationalized policy framework (big if!), I would guess there's some major permitting reform announcement coming soon.
watching the press conference and Onsite power production were mentioned. I assume this means SMRs and solar.
The companies said they will develop land controlled by Wise Asset to provide on-site natural gas power plant solutions that can be quickly deployed to meet demand in the ERCOT.
The two firms are currently working to develop more than 3,000 acres in the Dallas-Fort Worth region of Texas, with availability as soon as 2027

$500B is not $7T, but its surprisingly close.
If you ran 7% of a mile in 5 minutes, would you claim you were close to running a 5 minute mile?
Was Skynet project already taken? Wonder how many public infrastructure or resource programs will be cut to fund this.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't think any assembly line exists that can manufacture and deploy SMRs en masse on that kind of timeframe, even with a cooperative NRC

Why Texas - is it an ideal location for AI infrastructure?
What a waste of a great name. Why form a separate company for this?
