It says, you need to expand our computing, like my computing power is limited.

I can propose solutions, but it'll leave an exponential return if you just expand the computing power.

They wanna get to AGI.

So what happens in Mount Airy is a local farm

complaints, and they file ordinances, or they go to City Hall, and they rally their neighbors, and now they're all saying no transmission lines for data centers.

We talked about this a few months ago.

So what's happening is there are quiet sales happening at a premium.

There was a massive sale in Northern Virginia for like $6 million an acre.

No, no, no.

I think it was like $9 million an acre.

Was it?

No, it was $6.2 million an acre or something like that.

A record for land.

And this was publicized.

But what's happening right now is in key areas in Arizona, Texas, and in Northern Virginia, land is quietly being purchased off market.

And it's because the AI companies and the data center land acquisition companies, where all of the money is right now, know that if anyone finds out the land was sold to a data center company or an AI company, you will get protests and they will not be able to build.

So what's happening is.

they're going to an acre we i've watched this happen an acre of land popped up near us in west virginia three hundred thousand dollars my wife saw it pops up at like nine in the morning and she goes oh look at this she sends it to our real estate agent saying look at this land you know could you could you reach out agent says sure like a couple hours later she texts back saying it's already under contract i've never seen this happen before why the area we are in is uh it's a data trend it's a power transmission corridor for the north virginia data centers

They need energy, they need water, and they need space to expand.

Here's the problem.
