So are you saying they might be putting data centers out there too?

It's just speculation, but yeah, I don't see why you wouldn't.

AI is the future, as everybody's saying.

We've got to build our demonic overlords.

Just from a financial perspective, it's got to be cooler to run them in the Mountain West, where you've got six months of winter and a lot of wind.

I know computers get hot fast.

I'd imagine giant-ass computers get hot even faster and are expensive to cool.

So just one reason to move them out there.

Another reason is they'd be very remote and a lot easier to harden.

If you think of it from a tactical perspective, if you put a data center in the middle of six sections of land, you can get this thing out of mortar range or whatever, if that's something you were worried about.

So you put that in the middle, and then you hire security, and you've got a suite set up for your data center.

Bring in some H-1Bs and put them on there.

So when this public land initiative was going, before I learned more about this, I had been amenable to the idea of transferring to the states.

It's a really easy sell if you don't get in the weeds because a guy, of course, local control sounds better, right?

So I thought, yeah, this would be much better for everybody.

Give us our land back, that kind of thing.

But when you look into the details of it, you're not likely to keep it.

And when Teddy and others put this thing together, the idea was that it belonged not just to us, but to those yet in the womb of time, to our grandchildren, right?

Well, I joined an organization that was supposed to be like a nonpartisan organization.

Got involved with them doing Advocacy stuff.
