There's a very realistic future where small towns scattered all around the USA (and other places, but there's gonna be a shit ton of it here) will find themselves stuck with half built or buit-but-empty datacenters when this bubble bursts.

I think those cities should seize them from the bankrupt shell companies that will eventually own them on paper, and operate them as public utilities. Ideally, as part of or alongside public broadband utilities.

Sure, though consider the actual utility. If the hundreds-of-MW grid hookup is actually live, the value may be stripping out the Nvidia racks and filling the facility with grid stabilizing batteries.

If it's not hooked up but instead powered by local gas turbines, leaving it shut down is the best value.
