Question: "Probably. Is that up in the air at this point?"
POTUS: "I haven't made a decision, but it will probably go to the museum. It's scheduled to go to the museum.""
Question: "If it doesn't go to the museum, what would you do with it?"
POTUS: "I think it's going to the museum."
Data centers
Question: "What is your message to communities who say they don't like data centers?"
POTUS replied: "Well, I look at data centers very, very carefully. I mean, being formerly in the real estate business, I was really good at real estate, and I can tell you, if I were running a state or a town, if I was a mayor or governor, I would want as many data centers as I can because they throw off tremendous amounts of money. They don't take any energy because the new ones that I approved all create their own energy. We're giving them the right to build their own power plant so they don't have to use the grid.
"They're actually taking their excess energy and they're building some incredible plants along with the building, so they're building their own generation plant and the excess is going back into the grid. So we're actually making money on that. It's going to bring energy costs down. The data centers: you want to put them in the right location, but if you want to get rich as a state or as a town and if you want to pay lower taxes, if you want to create tremendous wealth, if you want your house to be more valuable and everything else, you're going to want a data center. If you want to go through poverty, crime, and squalor, I would say don't approve data centers, you know, you have your choice.
"So I'm all for people approving them or not, but if you look at places that have really gotten wealthy and rich and lower taxes, it's where properly approved data centers have been allowed to go up. Now, if they don't approve them, there's a lot of places that want them, both in this country and in particular in China. All over the world they want them. So I don't like seeing where that opportunity would be squandered, and the people that squandered are going to come back in five years and say, wow, we made a big mistake because that place is located at a different location and everybody's gotten rich. So I think if you want success, you have to go with the data center.
"You want them to be proper. You want to check them for sound and all the different things. But again they create their own electricity, so you're not going to have a problem there. The water is, is going to be, they do them in so many different ways, including desalinization and everything else. These data centers are making a fortune for people that live relatively near them. It doesn't mean you want to be right in their backyard, but for people that live in the area of data centers they've been an unbelievable success."
