Power generation is the critical bottleneck for AI data center expansion, with multi-year lead times for gas turbines (5 years) and nuclear plants (3+ years) limiting supply. Only ~28% of planned AI data centers may connect to existing grids, creating an infrastructure crisis, though solutions like Bloom Energy face supply chain risks (China-controlled scandium) and the post concludes the money may not be in the obvious power generation plays.
