Our earlier article examined how the U.S. AI data center buildout is running into rising costs, construction delays, and power constraints that are testing investor confidence. We noted that only a minority of planned projects are considered realistically deliverable, as tighter financing conditions and local pushback make it harder to expand computing capacity on schedule.
