布鲁克菲尔德资产管理公司首席执行官康纳·特斯基表示，在建设人工智能基础设施之前，获得当地社区的认可至关重要。
Brookfield Asset Management Chief Executive Officer Connor Teskey said it’s crucial to obtain buy-in from local communities before constructing artificial intelligence infrastructure.
记者 Layan Odeh 和 Dani Burger 报道 布鲁克菲尔德资产管理公司“我们知道，经营的社会许可是至关重要的，”特斯基周五在接受彭博电视采访时表示，此前该资产管理公司发布了第三季度业绩。
By Layan Odeh and Dani Burger Brookfield Asset Management“We know the social license to operate is critical,” Teskey said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg TV after the asset manager reported its third-quarter results.
布鲁克菲尔德的财报发布之际，科技股刚刚经历了残酷的一周，此前美国大选显示出全国范围内对数据中心的抵制情绪。
Brookfield’s earnings came at the end of a brutal week for technology stocks following a US election that revealed nationwide resistance to data centers.
多位民主党州长在竞选中强调加强数据中心监管后当选，根据彭博经济研究的数据，至少有17项禁止大规模数据中心的地方投票提案已获批或有望通过。
Democratic governors were elected across the US after emphasizing stricter data center regulation as part of their campaigns, and at least 17 local ballot measures to ban large-scale data centers outright were approved or are on track to pass, according to Bloomberg Economics.
“可以理解，这是动荡的一周，伴随着一些选举结果，”特斯基说。“对我们来说重要的是，对能源的需求和对基础设施的需求不是政治问题。”这位首席执行官认为，数据中心增长将持续，因为需求在相对基础上已经“异常高企”。布鲁克菲尔德通过投资 Bloom Energy 和 Compass Datacenters 等，是 AI 基础设施的重要支持者。5月，Compass Datacenters 取消了在弗吉尼亚州建设超过800英亩园区的计划，该计划引发了巨大的社区反弹。
“It’s been a volatile week, understandably, with some of the election results,” Teskey said. “The important thing for us is, the need for energy and the need for infrastructure is not political.”The CEO sees data center growth continuing because demand had already been “exceptionally high on a relative basis.”Brookfield is a prominent backer of AI infrastructure through investments in Bloom Energy and Compass Datacenters, among other investments. In May, Compass Datacenters scrapped plans for an 800-plus-acre campus in Virginia that sparked significant community pushback.
通过对 Bloom 的投资，布鲁克菲尔德参与了一个名为“木星项目”的新墨西哥州综合体规划，该项目在获取电力方面遭遇了多次挫折。
Through its Bloom investment, Brookfield is involved in a planned New Mexico complex known as Project Jupiter that’s faced a number of setbacks securing power.
特斯基周五对彭博表示，布鲁克菲尔德计划将“资本部署重点放在有社区支持、投资和增长受欢迎的地方”。
Speaking to Bloomberg on Friday, Teskey said Brookfield plans to focus its “deployments of capital in places where there is community support and the investment and the growth is welcomed.”
