LOL, maybe Sam Altman can fund those power plants. Let me guess: He'd rather the public pay for it, and for him to benefit/profit from the increased capacity.

Big tech is going to have to fund the plants and probably transmission. Because the energy utilities have a decades long planning horizon for investments.

Good discussion about this in recent Odd Lots podcast.
