Good piece from Josh on data centres. To put the argument another way, Ds say they want electrification, Rs say they want reindustrialisation. So there's a rather brutal irony that, when a technology comes along offering to deliver both, voters on both sides line up against it.

I’m in @FT today making a simple argument: data centers are creating market-driven demand for American-made industrial tech. This is the kind of industrial renaissance Ds and Rs say they want, but politics are pushing hard the other way. /1 giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/ac

(And of course plenty of Ds also want reindustrialisation and plenty of Rs electrification. But indulge the simplification.)

Which Ds, specifically, want "electrification"? They're literally fighting to tear down nuclear and hydro power and prohibit any new generation through regulatory state

Not very extremely surprising given the clear and stated aim of AI companies to wholly upend the workforce and resultant chatter of a “permanent underclass”
