The AI infrastructure boom is running into a growing obstacle: communities and regulators are pushing back against massive data center projects.
Simon and Dan look at why opposition to new data centers is accelerating, particularly around electricity demand, utility costs, water usage and the strain these projects can put on existing infrastructure. They also discuss what delays could mean for the AI buildout, which parts of the ecosystem could benefit from constrained computing capacity, and why Alberta is emerging as an important battleground for new projects.
Then, Simon follows up on last weekās Royalty Pharma deep dive by looking at the different ways investors can gain exposure to pharmaceuticals and biotech. From diversified ETFs to established drugmakers, higher-risk biotech companies and the royalty model, they break down the trade-offs between diversification, upside potential and clinical-development risk.
They also discuss why seemingly āsafeā pharmaceutical giants can still carry significant concentration risk, how AI could reshape drug development, and why healthcare may be one of the more overlooked ways to invest in the AI theme.
Stocks/ETFs discussed: RPRX, MRNA, MRK, JNJ, ABBV, LLY, VRTX, REGN, AMGN, GILD, ISRG, SHOP, HUT, SEI, TT, IXJ, ZHU.TO, XPH, IHE, IBB, XBI.
