And I believe that with the ability to use AI properly, we'll be able to open up the volume and velocity of people that get into this industry, right?
that have this industry, I think, has the highest overall total earning potential between all industries.
And
I think that it's the only industry that has the capacity to build back the middle class because the most important thing to manufacture today is a data center.
Even a one gigawatt data center requires eight buildings adjacent to it or an orbit of that.
You view it as energy.
It is.
It's potential energy stored up is what you're basically saying.
Well, you have to look at data centers as a part of the microgrids, right?
But energy is the play for AI, and that's why we just took away China's...
top two energy providers, external, right, which were Venezuelan oil and Iranian oil.
And it makes sense that they are financing very well-organized NIMBY campaigns to shut down and slow down the production of data centers in the United States because we have a head start over China, and China recognizes AI for what it is, and that is that it's the most advanced weapon machine in tech ever built.
And whoever has the best AI will have the greatest defense.
So I think that...
you look at this is the very first data center the economics of warfare you're describing well the very first data center ever built was built for and funded by the us government for national defense and intelligence data centers were always designed for national security and defense from the beginning people just you know in the 60s we made our first commercial data center ibm and american airlines and we just started growing we were here as technology was growing but no one knew we were here because we talk about it we were the engine out of the hood that's happening all over again
I think that you're seeing a repeat of every other transformational infrastructure upgrade that's ever happened in the United States.
And I'll say it like this.
Transformational infrastructure is like the railways, the electrification of the U.S.
grid, the interstate highway is a byproduct of the automobile revolution.
But we are talking about AI from a utility perspective because there are five utilities in a home.
