Abilene's AI Arms Race: Power, Water, and Backlash

Episode 5044 Published 1 month ago
Description
Abilene, Texas is the site of a massive Starlink LLC project: ten data centers housing 100,000 GPUs to train the next generation of AI models. But building this infrastructure means more than just stacking chips—it requires dedicated natural gas plants, massive water consumption, and a political firestorm. We break down the physical scale of the build, why West Texas won the bid, and why the conservative locals who welcomed the project are now questioning the trade-offs.
