Stopping hypersonic missiles is a matter of localized military hardware and physics. It has absolutely nothing to do with the massive commercial data centers being built across the country.
The national defense argument is a smokescreen to hide what these facilities are actually doing: acting as the backbone for mass digital surveillance. These server farms exist to harvest, store, and analyze the intimate details of our daily lives—our locations, spending habits, search histories, and private communications. Tech companies and government agencies use this infrastructure to keep tabs on every single one of us. Wrapping these data centers in the American flag is just a cheap way to justify draining local water tables and driving up electricity bills for the sake of a massive surveillance state.”
That is an interesting comment.
I would have thought detecting the future launch of ICBMs might be the job of satellites over one continent which would then flash a signal to tracking stations elsewhere and the activation of defensive interceptors at sea or on yet a different continent; sort of an integrated system.
But you say stopping 10,000 hypersonic missiles simultaneously “is a matter of localized military hardware.”
And vacuum tubes, I suppose.

AI Overview: (irony is ironic 😼)
Over 140 nations host operational data centers worldwide, but the massive, gigawatt-scale campuses for AI and cloud are primarily led by 30 to 40 highly digitalized nations. The United States dominates, while China, Germany, the U.K., Japan, France, Canada, India, and Australia lead an unprecedented GLOBAL DATA CENTER Boom.
Nearly 3,000 new data centers are currently under construction or planned across the United States, with over 1,500 in various stages of active development nationwide. This massive buildout is largely driven by the explosive demand for artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
Texas: 140 data centers under construction
Virginia: 136 data centers under construction
Georgia: 56 projects under construction
Ohio: 51 projects under construction
Globally, the sector is experiencing unprecedented expansion, with companies expected to invest nearly $7 trillion in building and upgrading data centers between now and 2030 to support an expected tripling of digital demand.
2030, eh? 🤔🤔🤔
