Mr. Sean Blanchfield:

AI fundamentally resolves down to energy. This is what we are seeing everywhere. It is not so much even a question of whether we have data centres. If we want to participate in the supply chain of the future at that level, then we need to figure out our energy supply. I do not think the data centres will be the controversial part if we have an abundance of energy. Until we do have such abundance of energy, however, I think we have already reached the end of our line in terms of how many data centres we as an economy are willing to continue to build based on fossil fuels. The question then is really what we can do to fix our energy infrastructure so we can potentially participate in the future economy by helping to run the AI and thereby sustain some kind of tax base in the future when we might very sorely need it after AI displaces some labour. This is the level at least that I am personally viewing it.
