Per Financial Times reporting, America's $10T AI infrastructure buildout is hitting real obstacles: at least 47 major projects delayed or canceled in 2026, 1,000+ local moratoria efforts, and only 35% of planned data center development deemed credible — even the $500B Stargate initiative has faced delays. The author stays optimistic on AI but argues infrastructure spending must be grounded in realistic economics.
