Going a step further, the builders that build with environmental and community concerns first are more likely to endure. My company does exactly that.

    FTA:

    Drawing on data from regulatory intelligence outfit RegLayer, the FT reports that 47 large data center projects have already fallen through this year. Analysts at the equity research firm Bernstein only believe that about 35 percent of planned facilities are feasible.

    Would you dispute these claims, based on your experience?

    Not at all. Most builders are clueless. They think that because they have money, they can solve any problems.

    Edit: Adding that site selection is HARD. Every developer with a spare farm plot wants in on the action. Most are completely inappropriate.
