While there is currently a boost in employment to build the data centers and power infrastructure for the AI build-out,

The rush to build "data centers" reminds me of the rush to build "EV battery plants", plants that GM and Ford are trying to pivot to building house scale backup batteries, so they don't need to write them off. There are now four, or five, "data centers" being pushed through local planning commissions and zoning boards, just here in metro Detroit.

Do you know how many automobile companies there have been in the US, from the days when cars were the new hotness?
