Nauti's Take
OpenAI addressing its infrastructure plans in public rather than behind closed doors is progress for a debate that usually starts after the concrete is poured. The open question is what reliable and transparent growth means in practice, since power draw, water use and jobs appear as intentions rather than measurable commitments.
For Texas this is an opening bid, for the industry a template for how siting debates get framed.
