Joe Rogan Experience #2574 - Francis Foster & Konstantin Kisin · Aired Oct 31, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Britain is not building any data centres.
The finding
What the evidence shows
The guest uses this line as a blunt criticism of UK investment conditions. Literally, it is wrong: Ada Infrastructure records construction starting on its first Docklands data-centre building in February 2026, with service planned for 2028, and Parliament's data-centre briefing describes UK construction and investment. This counterexample does not establish that UK planning or energy costs are unproblematic. The two guests are not distinguished in the retained captions.
