Why would the state, the county, and the military even consider letting an inexperienced developer with zero past successful datacenter projects undertake such a vast project?

I’ve been around the datacenter world for many cycles, and this story seems like a tale old as time.

Again, why would someone with no experience take such an enormous risk?

It may seem easy to build these things; but it’s actually quite difficult to get it all up and running safely and in sync at full capacity.

Even experienced people in these fields mess up from time to time.

For example, the largest electrical contractor in the dc area that was multigenerational family owned went under building the NSA data center in Utah, and they knew what they were doing!

This was an expert electrical contractor with over 50 years of experience, and they got in way over their head with cost over runs and bad engineering.

Somehow phases got crossed and things blew up if I remember correctly, and it lead to power surges that took them under.

For those who are underestimating just how advanced Vermont Sports Car is, this should open up your eyes.

They build all the fast Subarus for everyone; Travis Prastana, Bucky Lasik, Ken Block, Lia Block.

The Huckster, the Project Midnight; all them too.
