Common questions on Data Centers, surfaced from across the indexed web.

Can the market absorb this capacity?

The question is not whether we are building data centers. The question is whether we are building productive AI factories. An AI factory turns energy and data into valuable intelligence. Its customers are broad: frontier AI labs, AI clouds, enterprises and nations. They are building AI because it has become useful — doing valuable work across every industry. There is discipline in the model. Each financing partner will independently evaluate demand, utilization, cash flow and residual value. Capacity will be built around real customer economics.
