  1. People should listen to Ricks. Great industry leadership, major university talent that is going to continue to erode as the State cuts support for its flagship schools over and over and fails to invest in technology. State government leaders race to the bottom.

  2. Lilly could include power a generation plant that would also produce steam heating , chilled water for cooling and electricity in their project plans and possibly an incinerator waste disposal resource recovery unit

  3. Ricks is a very smart guy. Very likeable, too, FWIW. WRT data center power needs, the sheer volume of announced datacenters by OpenAI, etc. is staggering and we cannot possibly build enough power generation quickly enough (and the average Joe should not have to pay 2 or 3 times their bill to support all the extra infrastructure. Never mind the incredible water usage. I think the only viable solution in the medium term is to have a technological breakthrough in the chips that require only a small fraction of the enormous power they currently do.
