The weird part is that everyone keeps calling it public infrastructure, but if the primary beneficiary is a handful of private AI companies, that argument starts looking pretty thin. Reliable grids benefit everyone. Dedicated power corridors for hyperscalers are a much harder sell, especially when locals bear the costs.

I would use eminent domain to take away the land from data centers and make public parks. I can easily make a case for public parks.

Absolutely disgusting. Not that they didn't use this as pure racism during the expansions of major interstates through major cities. It's not new. It's just disgusting when it happens.

Why can’t we do that for high speed rail instead?

You guys have land?

Eminent domain can be used for a lot of things.
