## Quote — verbatim

> Just yesterday, I believe, multiple data centers in San Jose are running out of power. They're shut down. This was predicted by Gartner a few years ago — they said by 2026, 40% of data centers will go out of power, without energy... because we cannot build energy infrastructure as fast as we can build data centers.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Opening argument that AI demand has outrun society's ability to supply energy; "we're starting to see the cracks happen already."
