Right now, there are 3,000 data centers and there's 1,500 that are already in development across the country.
That's a lot.
If you think about that, that's
you know, 50 states, that's, what is that?
Yeah, 60 per state, something like that.
And now another 45, so it's up to like 70 per state, even more than probably 80 per state.
So that's a lot, you know, that's a lot.
And some big states like Texas probably has more than others.
In fact, I think Texas and Virginia have the most of the data centers.
However,
They do have a huge electrical need, and there's been strains on our electrical grid.
In fact, there's even protests going on about these.
I think we have a screenshot of one of the protests.
And these are just everyday people.
I mean, these could be paid protesters, but probably not.
They want to know what's going on here, what is happening.
And it's a legitimate concern.
By 2027, one single rack, this was according to the global Goldman Sachs, one single rack of the most advanced AI computers or servers could require enough electricity to run about 500 typical American homes.
So you think about that.
There's a lot of small towns in the United States that don't have 500 homes in them.
