TCC Episode 2: Data centres or power grids? Where should $1B go?

from The Capitall Consortium Hosted by The Capitall Consoritium

Kenya was offered a $1 billion AI data centre, but powering it would have meant taking electricity from everyone else. The Capital Consortium asks the question Africa's tech boom keeps avoiding. In this week's group chat conversation, we debate Microsoft and G42's stalled Kenyan data centre, why Africa still has an energy problem on a continent full of sunshine, and how one failed deal can scare off the next ten. Then each of us picks a side: data centres or power grids? 👍 Like, comment and subscribe.
