Exaggerated or poorly represented? One candidate for governor in my state likens it to the railroad bubble. Satya Nadella makes the same comparison. What happens when the bubble pops? We're seeing data centers outbid industrial plants for sites. Plants which would provide 100x as many jobs as a data center and not be abandoned in 2028 when the chips still aren't available and contracts come due.

Oh right, just some rubes in flyover states that don't know what's good for them.
