Well let's face it. Not all law and regulation is created equal. Look at Europe.

So why does he not build here in Europe then? Getting a permit for building a data center in Sweden is just normal industrial zoning that anyone can get for cheap, there is plenty of it. Only challenge is getting enough electricity.

I meant Europe is an example of how not to do regulation. The problem you just mentioned. If you get land easily electricity won't be available and vice versa.

Then maybe you should move here. We have in most cases well functioning regulations. Of course there are counter examples where it has been bad but data centers is not one of them. It is easy to get permits to build one.

Why is it an example? Can you cite any case where "regulation" trumpled the construction of a properly designed datacenter?

Or what you meant was "those poor billionaires can't do as they please with common resources of us all, and without any accountability"?

As a quick anecdote, there is a DC in construction in Portugal with a projected capacity of 1.2GW, powered by renewables.

Where a random malicious president can't just hijack the government and giga-companies can't trivially lobby lawmakers for profits at the expense of citizens?

You're spot on but you are not saying what you think you're saying)
