## Quote — verbatim

> I'm extremely skeptical if we are able to move as fast as we want in the hyperscaler market, but I think we have a bigger chance to move in the second-tier market, which is the one megawatt to 10 megawatt.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

After citing US grid limits (~1.2TW), 14-year/$32B nuclear builds, and Nvidia failing to get more than 20MW capacity for its own data center; sub-10MW sites can run on dense solar/wind.
