They can’t spend that fucking money on making this shit in a way that’s compliant instead?
Yeah, if data centers used solar power, batteries, and cooling that doesn’t waste water, I think communities wouldn’t mind (as much).
If I had fucking 280 billion and wanted to build the world’s biggest data center right fucking now, you bet your ass I’d buy out the entire production chain of renewables infrastructure and get fucking even richer for the next 50 years as I use the stuff at the start to make the data center, then the rest to charge the local population for green energy, and to spend the rest of the supply chain after to sell more green energy production stuff.
If you had 280 billion, you wouldn’t give two hot shits about destroying the world.
Not really, I keep up with the news and want to achieve nice things.
The cruelty is the point.
If they want data centers so damn bad we can be sure they will not be good for us.

That’s $1B+ that could have increased paychecks or benefits or bathroom breaks.
Holy shit, why would anyone still work there after moves like that?
White house meeting ended up with a “morally binding” agreement to be more generous to communities/states considering data centers.
Apparently, its cheaper to spend $1B on “toxic sludge is good for you” lies than it is to offer community benefits.
I laughed the other day when seeing a add in favor of datacenters.
