Notes de terrain
La construction est le tableau de bord honnête de la course à l'IA : les annonces ne coûtent rien, mais le béton, les turbines et les accords de raccordement au réseau, si. Chaque fiche indique la capacité annoncée avec sa source — lisez les étiquettes, pas seulement les gigawatts.
