Well things are all going great. Can't imagine anything breaking. Can't imagine electrical grids getting overwhelmed from infrastructure neglect and a surge in demand or fossil fuels becoming scarce or their flows being interrupted. When was the last time any of that stuff happened?
maybe the data-center upgrades will payoff when the ai bubble pops and everyone drives ev because of gas prices. infrastructure pre-built. ev charging cheaper at night so off peak already best on existing grid.
I love your optimism. Let us pray
Those things are going to get scrapped so fast when America falls. Ya know how eventually locals used the stones from the pyramids, the lighthouse of Alexandria, and the Roman colosseum? Well, that but scrapping chips and copper from abandoned data centers.
