But any AI slowdown in the US could give China’s sector “a rare window to catch up”, said Meng Qingyi, a researcher in global governance at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

Data center energy permitting bill moving forward
"Nov 9 (Reuters) - The US Senate voted to advance debate on a sweeping bipartisan energy permitting bill on Monday ... The Senate voted 73-25 to invoke cloture on a motion to proceed to the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, clearing the way for debate on legislation that would speed approvals for power plants, transmission lines, mines and other infrastructure projects while requiring large data centers to pay more of the costs of grid upgrades needed to serve them." reuters.com/legal/litigation…
Democrat politicians, "sure we got $54 million in taxes from the data center in a dilapidated city like Memphis but we need to slow things down because...I dunno..."
JUST IN: Memphis Mayor reveals SpaceX data center taxes more than doubled to $54 million, after $25 million last year made it Shelby County’s second largest taxpayer
Paul Young was asked about Elon Musk’s claim that data centers have Memphis booming:
Q: “Recently, just speaking on the revenues the data centers are creating for Memphis. Elon Musk recently tweeted that Memphis is 'booming' because of the data centers. He said that hotels and restaurants are full and called, tax revenue in Memphis tremendous right now. Do you just have any thoughts on that?”
YOUNG: “Well, we’ve talked a lot about the financial aspects of the project. I think that as we talk about data centers in our city, we want to talk about it in a balanced way. Of course there’s an economic side. We want to make sure that we are articulating what protections and guardrails we’re putting in place for the environmental sides that, people are concerned about, the quality of life, noise, traffic, all of those aspects."
"But, there there is tax revenue. I think this year it was $54,000,000 in taxes that have been generated. And I know last year when they generated about $25,000,000 in tax revenue, it was the second largest tax paying property in Shelby County. I don’t know where $54,000,000 puts it, but it is significant taxes."
"And so as we look at, the tax revenue, we also wanna look at how do we ensure that there are proper protections. That’s what this ninety day executive order has been about, and, it’s the conversation that we’ll continue to have with the community.”

“We studied 1,600 data centers ... and we find that they create non-construction jobs.”
An Ohio economics professor says data centers generate an estimated 1,000–1,300 additional jobs within 3–5 years of opening.
That's ON TOP of the jobs needed to build them.

Gina gonna find out quickly that freezing electricity rates in Texas isn’t even possible. Power generation and retail electric prices are not regulated by the state. The Texas PUC only regulates transmission lines (about 25% of the delivered price) and rates are required by SCOTUS precedents that go back to English Common Law to include a return on capital.
Yes, Democrats on laser like focused on job creation & lowering inflation...@IfindRetards

Super intelligence leads to abundance
SpaceX’s Arizona data center, per a county supervisor: “We could be reducing property taxes across the board in Cochise County, the entire county, by 20%”
Frank Antenori, whose district includes the site, brought up the county’s tax math during a live Q&A:
“Here’s just something to just chew on. Arizona has an expenditure limit requirement that is placed on counties. If we exceed that expenditure, we have to rebate back to the taxpayers a certain amount.”
“So, if we’re receiving revenue in from SpaceX, by law, we have to offset that to the taxpayers. We have the potential to reduce, based on the projected revenue they’re creating, as much as 20%.”
“Let me just say it again. We could be reducing property taxes across the board in Cochise County, the entire county, by 20% to offset for the revenue here, because we can’t spend all that money. So, we have to give that money back to the taxpayers. The law says we have to.”
“So, you could see a potential significant impact to local property taxes. What that is, I don’t know. We’re going to have to do the math on it. But the law, if we have this large increase in property tax revenue, we have to balance those rates. So that will reduce dramatically the property tax burden of every resident in the county.”
“The construction sales tax, which also is the TPT, the transaction privilege tax, the retail tax, and the jail excise tax. So that will be part of the construction tax. We could literally use that money to pay the jail off in 2 to 3 years, as opposed to the 13 to 20 years.”
“So this could be a revenue to eliminate the half-cent sales tax in 2 to 3 years. We can get rid of that half-cent sales tax.”

Alabama is about to experience an economic boom like we've never seen before. Incoming Governor Tommy Tuberville has announced that the state will be welcoming data centers and teach all elementary school kids to use AI.
"We're going to do data centers. It will help you tremendously. The tax money that comes from those things is unbelievable for schools, for law enforcement, for anything that's done."
"I think there are 27 states that said we aren't going to build data centers — We're NOT going to do that. 'It makes too much noise, It's going to ruin the climate — BULL CRAP. They are listening to all this nonsense they see on social media that's coming from China because China does not want us to grow."
This is how serious leaders act. @CoachForGov is a serious leader.

.@StephenM: “The leftist is fundamentally motivated by envy, by hatred, by jealousy. The leftist looks at what is beautiful and what is good and what is natural and is filled with envy and hatred.
The leftist looks at a perfect family with the perfect life and a perfect job and perfect kids, that goes to church every Sunday, and is filled with a feeling of inadequacy and jealousy — and they covet and they turn those emotions ultimately into a desire to subjugate, to oppress, and to inflict pain and suffering.
It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations and you see any photograph of those who are assembled — to be blunt, not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They’re all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerisms...
Their outer appearance becomes a manifestation of their inner hatred.”

Nobody believes this.
Democrats are even asking questions it's so obvious.
2,848 out of 3,109 counties is beyond unrealistic, especially when you learn that states across the country registered millions of "new voters" without ANY verification of U.S. citizenship, with some counties even having more ballots counted than registered voters.
