I get the sense that for obvious reasons they’ve been very cautious about publicly making the argument that this was an opportune moment to take Iran off the board ahead of possible Taiwan contingency in the late 2020s, but it’s a strong argument that makes sound strategic sense.

“An Illinois city just approved 14 data centers after hearing six straight hours of people begging them not to.” Residents packed the City Council meeting to oppose the project. Public comment went on for hours. In the end, officials unanimously voted yes.
