## Quote — verbatim

> The states can get into owning part of these data centers through bonds... issue municipal bonds... that can go build out data centers and give its citizens a way, or its treasury a way, to earn or get the upside from AI... nobody has focused on what happens underneath the chips: we need energy, we need the lines, our transmission infrastructure is aging.
