The Syndicate Room EP48 — Four Billion in the Valley: The AI Campus That Had to Buy Its Own Grid
Fluidstack breaks ground on a $4B AI data center campus in Cameron County, Texas (Rio Grande Valley) — 1.5 GW of reserved power, a $27M infrastructure offer to Harlingen, closed-loop cooling, and zero tax abatements.
