According to Goldman Sachs, from January states led by Democrats who support AI construction moratoriums will account for 45% of the country's planned capacity, and a quarter of the buildout is set to take place in Texas alone. AI infrastructure spending is expected to approach $1 trillion a year, according to a Columbia Business School economist.
