       @peter #Alt4You A line graph of data centers vs megaprojects, in inflation-adjusted costs, billions USD. The y-axis goes up to $1T and the X axis goes to 70 years.Data center capex will go well off the map this year, ending 2025 at $930B in 6 years.US Railroads were $550B in 71 years, Interstate Highways $620B in 37 years, smaller players include Apollo, F-35, Manhattan Projects, International Space Station, and Marshall Plan.
