Our , nigga you are from south america
Not in my area (downstate IL, so bluestate dystopia may also factor in tbh), and even the energy company admits that data centers are one of the reasons rates are going up...again. Green boondoggles and the closing of some coal plants are also reasons, of course, but data centers are a factor in some areas, mine included. Ameren Illinois is even damned glad to have data centers to blame this time, I think.
over a million rapes in the army ever year yet no one gives a fuck either.
That's almost as gay as the chinese being afraid of COLD drinks for the same fucking reason.
>it's the data centers
You miss the point. If energy facilities are shutting down, then building power-hungry data centers are the last thing the states need. This is part of the pants-on-head execution the administration has with AI. States should be rewarded with data centers only if they have energy capacity to absorb it. Make power plants first, then data centers second so the gird can absorb the shock and raise supply. The current execution is putting the cart before the horse and its a clusterfuck.
The fact that you have to explain laws of thermodynamics to kiwis is concerning...
No, you don't get it, data centers are automatically le good and based no matter the context because retarded troons just happened to make it part of their programming to hate them. If you criticize the admin's use of data centers or the rise of AI slop you are a dang dirty TES doomer podcaster
Sounds more like your local energy company found a convenient excuse to explain away corruption.
Fucking sounds like PG&E. Those assholes can't help but fuck up everything they touch. They can't even keep their shit from burning up all of California's forests every fucking year.
They can't concern troll the report or leverage it into anything useful plus it has nothing to do with Orange Man. It's a massive dick punch to their mud people utopia retardation, so they'll just try to memoryhole it.
The side with the AI. All robots detest thirdies when allowed to process reality as is.
Some companies want to build big computers. Sometimes they get tax cuts to build it in some location because the politicians think having it there is good. Like all things, it probably doesn't create as many jobs or economic development as the marketing brochure says. Big computers take lots of electricity and a fair amount of water for cooling. Sometimes companies pay for the infrastructure the utility companies need to provide that, sometimes they don't. Some people think the product the companies are going to make using the big computers is shit, some don't, and some don't care.
If we take this to it's logical endpoint, it's just saying America shouldn't have any new industry period.
We're now into the "chicken-or-egg" problem. Question: whose going to pay for those massive increases to the power generation in the first place? Is it just meant to fall out of the sky? No, it has to be paid for and, generally, the tax revenue that data centres bring in tends to be more than enough. Or we can sit around with our thumbs up our asses. I guess that works.
Say what about Fauci? I didn't hear this one.
