Any idea why the Brookings report was ignored? I found it a good read.

Boring financial stuff about supply chain fragility not as sexy as Google being weird and re-litigating whether the Musk salute was a Nazi salute I guess?
More seriously there's a HN tendency to skip over dull physical logistical stuff, hand wave climate tonnages, space data centre physics, etc.
I imagine the investor class that look to fine details read these things closely and keep their thoughts to themselves to preserve any perceived edge.
