Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has launched Bolt Data and Energy, partnering with Texas Pacific Land to develop 10 gigawatts of AI data center capacity across 882,000 acres in West Texas. This $150 million venture vertically integrates land, water, and power to solve the energy bottleneck stalling AI scaling. By utilizing natural gas and future nuclear power, Bolt enables hyperscalers to bypass grid constraints and secure massive compute. This strategy establishes physical infrastructure as the new frontier in the global race for AI supremacy. ⚡️🏢🇺🇸 #AI #DataCenters #Energy #EricSchmidt #Infrastructure
