Power demand outpaces delayed semiconductor buildout
The guest argued that physical bottlenecks and local opposition will delay AI data center completions, making power generation assets more attractive than semiconductor manufacturers.
The argument
Protests over resource consumption, labor shortages for specialized trades, and long lead times for cooling and memory equipment are slowing physical deployments. Consequently, the guest expects capital to pivot toward power infrastructure as the primary bottleneck.
The thesis, stress-tested
✓ What validates it
- ✓Utility companies reporting increased industrial power contract pricing
- ✓Hardware backlogs at major server manufacturers extending past current estimates
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸Rapid resolution of labor and cooling equipment shortages
- ▸Local governments easing zoning and power grid restrictions quickly
Hear it yourself
"I think now we're gonna run into supply demand issue, and that's gonna be about more inflation than what people expected. And if that's the case, I don't wanna be in semis as much as I wanna be in power. What's going on, guys? Today, we got a great conversation with Jordy Visser. In this, he talks about why your CapEx is my opportunity. He explains what AI stocks he's excited about. He explains a stock that he just sold two thirds of his position for the first time, and he explains why. We then talk about Bitcoin, whether Michael Saylor is gonna sell Bitcoin and does it matter or does it not."
