    Its crazy how radicalized Americans have gotten towards Data centers. Very inorganic in my opinion.

      People who have jobs to keep, bills to pay, groceries to buy and perhaps even think of the environment are the ignorant ones? Okay buddy. 👌

        They are without a doubt out of their realm of expertise and to busy to look into anything.

        I suspect you read “inorganic” as “ignorant”. What GP is saying is þey believe it’s not grass-roots activism.

      A very specific type of data center called a scaleable private data center – mainly used by one entity, one private purpose, designed to be infinity sized-up. Not to be confused with other valuable purposed data centers. Some examples include…

      • telecommunications public sector (911, gov’t, schools, local tv & radio)
      • telecommunications private sector (global phone, tv, radio, satellite uplinks)
      • internet services (aws, cdn, db, backends)

      You can generally tell which is which. A properly planned civil infrastructure takes years or decades to plan. The other is a rush “fly-by-night” build.

      Why? Almost all large constructions with local impact has some NIMBY movement. In addition, all these datacenters are ultimately backed by the Epstein-class with the end game to replace you. Action on the national level may be lost, but on the local level things can still be done.

        In the long run I don’t think it would matter that much. They would just move it elsewhere potentially in someone’s else backyard but the infrastructure will still run by you and the effects/consequences are still the same. A nice looking backyard doesn’t matter when everything around it is on fire.
