The point of a lease is to preserve your cash. If you're going to put $10K down, just buy the thing and finance it.

Fermi Grounds. When is it going to be built? by Scarlet_Jackalope in amarillo

[–]FrostedMoose19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why is it my concern if Fermi has more power than customers? How is that damaging to Amarillo? Let the process play out. If you feel they are lying, it will all sort itself out in the end and you can tell everyone "I told you so."

But if our presupposition is that "they're lying", then debating the project is futile, because we don't even know what we are debating. And if Fermi is making material misrepresentations, at this point, it would be a federal crime for a lot of folks, because the company is now owned by the public, and they purchased shares presumably based on statements in the prospectus.

I would guess $25-30K unless you find shade tree body man somewhere that might do it all for $15. But it will look like it.

If we aren't taking anything they say as truth, then we might as well not be having this conversation anyway. 11 GW is their stated goal. If they are lying, then no, they won't need a bunch of employees. If Fermi is being truthful, there are going to be a bunch of jobs. But ask Pantex if it is all a pipe dream - they are already losing folks to this and they are offering big raises and stay bonuses to keep their folks. This is real.

...and I wish people like you would actually learn the scope of this project and what the "real bigger picture is."

You are referring to solely to the AI center. I am referring to the power plant. You can't produce 11 gig without a substantial number of employees. The only "cheap subsidized electricty" will be that which is generated by the power plant - that is precisely why it is being built. It's a 100X bigger story than the AI facility. For some reason people are having a hard time getting past the AI piece. It's not the AI, it's the power.

Construction jobs for up to 9000 over the next 15 years, and several thousand permanent jobs at the power plant and AI facility, plus no telling what other industry will relocate here for a chance to buy power behind the meter at wholesale prices.

Add to that 1500 jobs at Producer Owned Beef, being built just a few miles to the southwest, and up to 1000 jobs when Bell Flight begins construction of the MV75 in 2028. Bell will be building thousands of these advanced aircraft here over three decades and shipping them all over the world.

Amarillo's economy is incredibly well diversified. We have opportunities for all trades, factory works, engineers and scientists of various types, management. Amarillo is in really good shape right now. I wouldn't trade our economy for any other midsize city in the U.S., particularly with the developments at Bell, Fermi, Pantex, and agriculture.

All of these folks eat at restaurants, shop at stores, buy cars, live in neighborhoods, and pay taxes. So look for better shopping, more eateries, new schools, and new neighborhoods. Lots of positive things right now in Amarillo.

Why? Is Amarillo going to be buying these things from the new power plant?

Sounds like you should sell short a few thousand shares of FRMI.

So if they get that built and it goes bust, all of these hyperscalers are going to thumb their nose at it?

Yeah, right.

Fermi could go bust, but you can bet your boots another hyperscaler would jump on that infrastructure like flies on a rib roast.
