In the last two years alone, dozens of hyperscale data center projects have been canceled across the U.S.
Not delayed.
Canceled.
Entire campuses shelved after years of planning.
2024 saw the first wave.
2025 accelerated it.
The reasons weren’t technical failures.
They were predictable:
Too much power.
Too much water.
Too much land.
Too much disruption.
Communities pushed back.
Utilities hesitated.
Permits stalled.
Economics broke.
Because when a project shows up asking for 100–300 MW and millions of gallons of water, you’re not building infrastructure anymore.
You’re negotiating politics.
And politics kills projects faster than engineering ever will.
This is exactly why we shifted doctrine @

Power first.
Infrastructure second.
Microgrids bring our own energy.
Modular shrinks the footprint.
Factory-built eliminates years of construction impact.
Relocatable assets remove permanence risk.
So instead of asking a county for massive grid upgrades
We show up with
Power included.
Minimal land.
Minimal water.
Immediate deployment.
Completely different conversation.
Grid-dependent hyperscale is becoming a permitting battle.
Power-aligned modular is becoming deployable infrastructure.
One waits for approvals.
The other just gets built.
The market is quietly choosing speed.
And speed always wins.
