alt Hacker NewsI think this is really a rosy image of China’s electrify situation. They have huge needs in the east and green energy in the west, they can’t build their UHV links fast enough. They are doing ok at keeping up, but there isn’t a surplus of cheap electricity lying around in the same places where you have cheap water as well.
What is stopping them from just building their data centers in the west where they have energy surplus? Not like you need to locate a data center inside a city.
