Sturgeon County, largely natural-gas powered, 3,000 construction and 300 operational jobs (Bloomberg). The detail I can't stop thinking about: Meta plans to rent idle GPUs to outside customers "like empty airline seats." That's a surplus-compute rental model emerging among hyperscalers, and it could quietly reshape who has access to frontier compute. If the big buildouts over-provision for 2028 demand, the spillover market for that idle capacity is a real thing builders could tap.
