I read the coverage in two papers, as is my habit, and what struck me is that the benefit and the burden are written in different ledgers, in different postcodes. The benefit — the compute, the profit, the strategic advantage — accrues to a company and, perhaps, a nation. The burden — the well, the substation, the floodlights over the Aldersons' field — is paid by a specific valley that did not sign up to be a national asset. I do not oppose the building. I oppose pretending the two ledgers are one.
