Crusoe CEO: Why Everyone Gets GPU Depreciation & AI Energy Costs Wrong

Harry StebbingsChase Lochmiller

Crusoe says AI infrastructure will follow cheap, available power, targeting roughly 200 MW in Abilene within one year versus 2.5 years elsewhere.Vertical integration cut medium-voltage delivery to 28 weeks from a 100-week quote, while five-year GPU contracts and managed services diversify cash flow.Rising Hoppers usage prices challenge simple depreciation assumptions, but labor, community disruption, and uncertain IPO timing remain risks.

Trump’s Super Intelligence Summit, AI Safety Accord, GDP Beats, Midterm Predictions

The White House Accord on Superintelligence turns six frontier companies’ voluntary pledge into board-level governance via internal controls, external audits and independent oversight, with FTC and SEC enforcement behind public commitments.It opens a market for professional auditors and compliance infrastructure, while open-weight models shift security spending toward cyber defense, compute and electricity; the next 12-18 months may test GPU-access policy.

中美会谈暂缓关税与稀土限制,但台湾、芯片出口分歧仍待谈判。成品油是通胀关键变量:中国每日增100万—200万桶出口,裂解差或降至40;受限则欧洲柴油可能涨50%以上。美国通胀被判断为transitory,短期卖盘或压低市场,AI与半导体中期支撑未变。

David Hunter on the S&P 500, Bonds, Gold & Oil | What Comes Next?

David HunterJimmy Connor

David Hunter targets S&P 10,000, NASDAQ 36,000 and roughly 30–40% further upside, with a parabolic final leg if his secular-bull thesis is right.He simultaneously expects unprecedented debt and derivatives leverage to drive a potential 80% global bust, while seeing lower oil and a bond-market bull move as key cycle pivots.The timing remains unresolved: he sees a very good chance of a bust next year, but expects oil to fall and gold and silver to reach 7,000 and 200 before then.

AI spending can't grow forever with P Equity Research | EP 167

Logan JastremskiP Equity Research

AI infrastructure is constrained less by GPUs alone than by a shifting stack of memory, advanced packaging, power, construction, and networking, with memory potentially absorbing roughly half of hyperscaler capex through 2028.Long-term agreements and higher utilization may support a higher earnings floor, but cannot repeal cyclicality if ROI and free cash flow disappoint.Watch ABF, optics, and China’s potential 20-25% global memory share.

Blake Scholl: Why Plane Speed Stalled, Supersonic Commercial Flight, & Revolutionizing the Engine

Blake SchollJason Calacanis

Boom’s 42 MW, water-free, behind-the-meter data-center system repurposes its Mach 1.7 engine core, with the first engine due next month, while vertical integration targets multiple gigawatts annually and more than 10 GW added to the grid over five years.Overture targets a $3,500 round-trip break-even fare and a four-year goal, but the actual service date remains uncertain as regulatory momentum accelerates.

Eclipse's Lior Susan on $12.5B AUM and the Bet on Physical Industries

Molly O'SheaLior Susan

Eclipse is targeting the physical economy—about 85% of global GDP, or $100 trillion—where deglobalization, supply-chain vulnerability, government support, and customer demand are reopening neglected opportunities.With about $12.5 billion in AUM, roughly 90 portfolio companies, and 30 it helped build, its operators-with-capital model links CapEx, manufacturing, policy, and systems execution, while its free-cash-flow focus and non-formulaic incubation leave execution, timing, and repeatability as key variables.

Ep. 033 - 300 Data Center Bans, 3 Projects Delayed: Moratoriums Explained (Datacenter, Energy)

Maya BarkinReyk KnühtsenJordan NanosJeremie Eliahou Ontiveros

Mapping 400+ local instruments against 3,500 projects finds 300+ moratoriums but only three projects actively affected: AWS, NorthPoint, and CoreSite.Roughly 80% of live restrictions have no capacity behind them, leaving the forecast unchanged and making behind-the-meter power more attractive; New York delays roughly 800MW by 6–10 months, while an off-grid-blocking Texas-scale ban is key risk.

Building a Power Company for the Next 50 Years | Zach Dell, Base Power

David SenraZach Dell

US electricity demand could rise from roughly 2% to around 10% annual growth, with AI accelerating an already broad electrification trend.Base sells electricity rather than $20,000 batteries, owning distributed assets that monetize wholesale markets while avoiding interconnection and transmission constraints; scaling Base Core and long-term utility contracts remain key milestones.

Ep. 026 - PJM's $12B Modeling Mistake Is Hitting Ratepayers Again (Datacenter, Energy)

Robert BoswellJordan Nanos

PJM’s capacity-auction modeling—not data-center demand alone—is estimated to have made $12B of the $63B spent across its last four auctions avoidable.Constrained supply, “endless summer” demand assumptions, and pay-as-clear pricing amplify marginal scarcity across 66 million people, while a September or October emergency auction could commit up to $21B through 2042–43 if data-center load fails to arrive.
