Europe faces a three-sided sovereignty problem — and the three sides are deeply interdependent. Failure in any one dimension weakens the other two. Sovereign Compute & Energy — Building the physical infrastructure — data centers, GPU clusters, power grids and cloud platforms — to train and run AI without foreign dependency. [...] Europe should build a distributed map matching each region’s power, industrial, geographic and regulatory advantages — Nordics, France, Germany/Benelux, Iberia and Central & Eastern Europe.
