The green groups, including Greenpeace (who knew they still existed), Friends of the Earth (whoever the fuck they are), Food & Water Watch (again - whoever the fuck they are) and dozens of local organizations, have urged members of Congress to halt 'the proliferation of energy-hungry datacenters', accusing them of causing planet-heating emissions, sucking up vast amounts of water and exacerbating electricity bill increases that have hit Americans this year.
“The rapid, largely unregulated rise of datacenters to fuel the AI and crypto frenzy is disrupting communities across the country and threatening Americans’ economic, environmental, climate and water security,” the letter states, adding that approval of new data centers should be paused until new regulations are put in place.
Ya know that ages-old adage 'If it ain't somethin', it's somethin' else'?
Well there ya are. Jeez friggin' Louise.

Do you have gout like I do?
Is so, this is the best answer for that pain...
Friend of mine turned me on to this about 20 years ago when I first started feeling
the symptoms of gout in my big right toe. Long story short, I haven't had a gout
attack in at least 10 years - maybe more. The black cherry concentrate does one
thing, and only one thing. It eliminates Uric Acid in your system - that's all it
does. And it works better than any drug any doctor can prescribe. If you have
gout, buy a bottle and take two a day, that's all. See for yourself if it doesn't
work. Trust me - it does. Click the picture.

ReplyDeleteThose data centers are needed to run the climate models to prove that your climate BS is correct.
Are you saying you don't want that because you don't want proof that you climate morons are full of San Francisco street droppings?
I will side with the climate nuts on this. The data centers do require a large amount of clean water which could impact water supplies for surrounding populations. Also, due to the climate idiots causing unreliable solar and wind to be added to the grid at the expense of reliable coal plants, the electric grid is not able to handle the large requirements for electric that the data centers will require which could lead to an even more unstable grid.
ReplyDeleteI'll say this - they're trying to build one on the edge of town where I live. It's proposed to use 8+ million gallons of water a day and 800 megawatts of power. It's just down the road from a power plant that puts out....800 megawatts. Hmmm, wonder if my electric bill will go up when they have to find more power for us peons. It only took an overrun of 7 years (supposed to be done in 5) and an additional $17 billion to get 2 new nuclear units (each does about 1.1 GWs) up and running.
ReplyDeleteSo we need more data centers to mine bitcoin and let Timmy have AI write his college papers? Hard pass.
Probably an op run by the Red Chinese to slow down our AI. Like the nuke disarmament in the 80's was sponsored by the Soviets.
