Part 1: Can mandated industrial setbacks ease the AI infrastructure bottleneck?
The hyperscale path to AI data centers takes 5–8 years and faces grid queues, water limits, and a confirmed military attack on data centers in early 2026. A different approach: put distributed inference capacity behind the meter on land that refineries, petrochemical plants, water utilities, and power plants are already required to keep empty as safety buffers.
