Let's get started.
And that's all true.
But that's all true, in fact, in part because we are in a consolidated market, which can seem so crazy when there's this much demand, this many players moving.
But you know it's like that because the walls are up.
The barriers to entry are high.
And just one example to kickstart the conversation is on the capital side.
Is there tons and tons of capital out there eager to invest in data centers generally?
Sure.
Is it more sophisticated by the day with higher demands, higher requirements, higher controls?
Absolutely.
And I think if you're going to talk about getting through or over or under those walls, whatever your approach is, you have to have a really unique approach.
And to me, it seems like there's maybe just a couple of approaches that make sense.
And going straight up the wall, which is what people have done traditionally, probably isn't going to work in this stage of the industry.
I think we're seeing two approaches evolve out of that.
The first is big.
And I've joked about it on this podcast probably too many times.
When I joined the industry...
which is late 2023, not that long ago, you told me that 50 megawatt data center is pretty typical, 100 was getting to be pretty big and anything past that was a death star.
And then we toured a 200 megawatt site and we joked about gigawatt campuses and now something like those, whether it's 500 megawatts or a gigawatt is becoming real.
And so it seems like one direction people are taking is to build a bigger castle approach, right?
