- The Allocation Regime: When Queue Position Becomes the Scarce Asset
When supply cannot expand fast enough and demand jumps abruptly, access is allocated through contracts, queue position, and licensing rather than price alone. The scarce asset becomes capacity access, not the commodity itself.
- The Gas Turbine Bottleneck Is Real: Why Behind-the-Meter Generation Feeds the Constraint, Not Bypasses It
Behind-the-meter generation does not bypass the heavy-frame turbine bottleneck. It routes hyperscaler capital into the same constrained supply chain. GE Vernova's 116 GW backlog is roughly 20% data-center-driven, while castings and forgings impose the hardest capacity ceiling.
- Why the Texas Data Center Grid Pause Is Not About Power
The 474 GW interconnection queue is not a power shortage. It is a timeline mismatch: data centers build in 1-3 years, transmission lines take 5-15 years. The bottleneck is permitting, not physics.
