Lots more electrical power needed. Modular Nuclear Power Plants needed. Remember! China does not bother with protests. Whatever the bosses want is what the Chinese Gov. gets. The USA needs complex computing data centers and the power to run them.

Quebec has a LOT of hydro power they want to sell to us.

The NIMBYS in NH and ME stopped the power line projects.

There are spots in northern NH and ME near the border on rivers and lakes for cooling water where nobody would see the data centers, the steam from the cooling towers or the power lines.

Cut us a deal to reduce our taxes and go for it.

There’s something more going on. There is no reason to have 5000 data centers. We just gotta notice that our electric bills are going up 7% because of a data center.
