What it is: a purpose-built AI data center initiative at unprecedented scale—why it matters for compute, power, and latency.
Who’s involved: the key players across tech, energy, real estate, and local/state partners and how roles divide (capital, land, power, incentives).
Why Abilene: the on-the-ground factors that make this site viable (power, land, connectivity, policy).
Risks and timelines: what must go right, where this could stall, and signals to watch.
I recently filmed on site in Abilene. I will have a full write‑up, sources, and my notes will be on my Substack over the next month.
