The AI data-centre boom has a problem before the planning rows even begin: some announced projects may never be built, TechCrunch says in a new podcast episode.
Why it mattersThe excerpt points to local opposition, permitting delays and electricity constraints as obstacles. It offers no estimate of how many projects are at risk, so this is a warning, not a tally. Still, an announcement is not the same thing as a powered-up data centre. How many AI projects depend on capacity that may not arrive?
Discuss: Should AI companies and investors count announced data-centre capacity as real until projects are permitted, powered and under construction?
