tbqh I would love to see a very formalized sequence of energy grants that expand public solar farm capacity. that alone would invite more explorational energy consumption (e.g. FLOPs) & +EV for private speculation. knowing how open-ended this is, I think the current approach is earnest about appearance, not max scale.

that's a fair point for the energy. I wish the market was the same for internet service (e.g. https://www.nber.org/papers/w16166), hopefully satellite constellations sustainably drive that down. either way, I agree the best investment is systemic & drives at the root scarce input.
