Q. is the real model for understanding the rush to build data centres the 'shale boom' in the USA?
A fast build-out followed by bust & assets stranded by shifts in markets & technologies.... leading to major losses, except this time the impact will not be on regional economies in the USA but global.
A plausibel scenario?
