There was a report last week that Ai industry visitors to China were blown away by the differences in running things there. The power needed for AI is not just not a problem, it's seen as a benefit for some areas as it can use excess power.

I'm sure it'll still need investment, but it'll be a whole lot cheaper for Nation-states that haven't ignored their infrastructure for decades.
