• Infra Boom: Lisa Weaver-Lambert Maps the $1.3 Trillion Data-Center Gold Rush

  Lisa Weaver-Lambert returns to unpack the trillion-dollar surge in digital infrastructure—and turns the idea of “boring” data centers on its head. She breaks down why global private infrastructure now tops $1.3 trillion, how Europe rockets from 6 % to 30 % of data-center investment, and why 15-to-20-year hyperscale leases create gold-rush conditions for real-estate giants like Blackstone. We dive into power-hungry GPUs, three-year hardware refresh cycles, and the paradox of using AI to design the very facilities that run AI. From modular builds in Norway that heat greenhouses to Sam Altman’s audacious $500 billion “Stargate” project, this episode is your fast-moving guide to where money, megawatts, and machine learning collide.Want to know more?
