8T is the high-end of the McKinsey estimate that is 4-8T, by 20230. That includes non-AI data-centre IT, AI data-centre, and power infrastructure build out, also including real estate for data centres. Not all of it would be debt. Google, Meta, Microsoft and AWS have massive profit to fund their build outs. Power infrastructure will be funded by govts and tax dollars.
They're all starting to strain under all this AI pressure, even with their mega profits.
