This - a lot of the AI capex structures aren’t well compensated enough for construction + permitting + energy supply + leasing + obsolescence/tech risk. Even if they are coming 100bps wide of the rating.

This wasn't intended to be a long thread of my own but once I get started it's a bit hard to stop (nobody mention autistic inertia).
