I agree in general, but equipment mainly due to lead times and not permit/etc times. Remember it's federal land, so they can't be held to state permitting or building codes, etc, only what they choose to (IE if their agency adopted it explicitly) Having seen lots of datacenters constructed over the years - it's tractable in terms of the bureaucracy parts if they want it to be - because they can mostly ignore them. So for me it breaks down like: Building construction, it could be done. Power provision - hard to say without knowing the sites. some would be clear yes, some would be clear no. Probably more nos than yeses. Filling it with AI related anything at a useful scale - no, the chips don't exist unless you steal them from someoene else, or you are putting older surplus stuff in.
