Ask HN: Could a national AI Corridor help with advancing the U.S.“I hear America singing…” — Whitman Today, it’s not hammers but GPUs, SMRs, and fiber lines. The nation is building again — if we let it.⸻The Frame Is BrokenAI data centers are booming. But power, water, and grid capacity aren’t keeping up. The U.S. grid is a patchwork — Route 66 when we need I‑10.Slapping GPUs onto an aging grid is like putting a Tesla engine in a 1985 sedan.⸻Corridors, Not ChaosWe propose a National AI Corridor: • Nodes: AI compute, SMRs, desal, fiber, CAES • Hubs: Megaregional clusters linked by HVDC + water loops • Capital: PAS Tax flips capital into infrastructureCorridors reduce siting risk, consolidate resources, and turn heat into revenue.⸻Heat = Dividend60% of GPU energy is wasted as heat. Corridors reuse it: preheating desal, biotech fermenters, battery recycling.Waste becomes product. Cost becomes capital.⸻JPMorgan’s $1.5 Trillion SignalIn 2025, JPMorgan launched a $1.5T “Security & Resiliency” initiative to fund energy, AI, and grid resilience.This is our e
