Anti AI and Anti datacenter people in a nutshell.
A 40000 acre data center that is bigger than Manhattan and uses more power than the entire state of Utah but only provides 2000 jeet jobs is based and amazing.
On top of that, out west these data centers are a legitimately serious issue because cities either have to ensure they have sufficient water rights to meet the demands of the data center plus their own residents and commercial users, or the center has to buy or lease those rights. This is all due to the weird prior appropriation laws a lot of these states have, where senior rights holders get priority over junior claimants.
just fyi I agree with you completly but if you think the usa has more than 1k data centers I got a damn bridge to sell you
My solution is that we need to deport millions of spics before building a single new datacenter in the Southwest to offset the resource consumption.
The data centers are privately owned and benefit the rich
Can you imagine if someone in Taiwan was bitching 'there's too many wafer fabs, get them out!' That's what these luddite leftists and insane general lunatics are doing here. They look at the gift horse and will send it to Vaush to be fucked. It's lunacy.
It's also baltimore, everyone needs to get a slice of the grift
The wafer fabs are a big part of their economy, employ a lot of people, and are point of national pride. Data centers just exist and don't really provide much direct benefit to the local community outside of tax revenue (but the goverment rarely are responsible with that). I'm not against data centers but I can understand people going full NIMBY about it.
Baltimore and the northeast is the same economically as California, but with more dumb negroes. But the ripoff $250b train to build nothing scam goes on endlessly in these blue places. They'll build a park for hundreds of millions, and it'll be completely in shambles of fent homeless and wrecked in a year.
The problem is they're trying to repair it, not remove it. Which is considerably more expensive. Baltimore and Maryland are big places marred by insane bureaucracy that can change on a whim. They did have a contract to repair but Maryland decided that the 2 billion repair costs was way to high for its tax payers and canceled the contract.
Add into that Nestle and other companies draining the aquifier for bottled water, and top it off with the fucking almost orchards destroying the water system, and there's serious problems on the west coast.
The DoT and the people making the data centers are as different as night and day.Some Fucking Dildo Catcher dijo:
lol wrong, the last proposal was to build an entirely new bridge a few hundred feet away as opposed to just rebuilding the already existing bridge to previous spec and re-suing what could be, that would have been much faster which is why they chose not to do it.
The almond orchards and a lot of these other farms have been around for decades, though. The percentage of water used by agriculture as a whole out west has actually dropped due to the rapid urbanization in the last couple of generations, but they're still the majority of users.
Conquer Canada, install the data centers in the frozen tundra, and enslave the surviving canucks to do all the menial servicing.
It's not the weather, just like the CA fires, insane gas prices, and all of it. It's a political problem. They're going to go to their graves thinking they can't change though. Worse then then eastern commies.
Brown people dont build cool shit like this anymore
I climbed up there. My fav is the smaller sites like Petrified Forest national park. You can see the rock outlines of the houses, foundations of places. I really wish I could go to Rome even just Byzantine Anatolia or England stuff that has stuff so much still existent that is cooler. Arches National Park has similar, not super ancient leftovers, maybe 600 years, but long before euros came. It's cool cause it's not renowned like the Euro sites even though Europe is full of 1500+ year old ruins that are still more impressive than most US Native ruins.Brown people dont build cool shit like this anymore
