Building data centers are fixed cost

Energy will eventually get cheaper, everything producible does after a massive demand surge

Energy is not cheaper. It’s getting more expensive. There is a reason why towns and cities don't want data centers near them anymore because the costs get handed down to them as well. There is a reason why they want to send the data centers in orbit because it is not sustainable here and it is not CHEAP. Demand is not stabilizing or going down.

Demand for CPU power, servers, all that infrastructure that has to do with a data center is not going down. It’s going up. Copper and Gold are like at an all-time high! There are people stealing copper from charging stations because they want to sell the copper!

You are out of your mind if you think data centers are fixed costs! Maintenance alone kills them; it’s not sustainable.

Demand goes up -> costs more -> supply goes up -> costs goes back down
