      Unfortunately, the people are going to need to enforce all laws in the near future.

      They are driving everyone to violence… And I hate every moment of it.

    The amount of marketing material 2013-2020 (and ongoing probably) talking about how mega scale datacentres were so much greener than collocation or non cloud was significant.

    “We‘ll host your shit with a PUE of 1.05 and it’ll be all solar and hydro”

    Reality is gas and coal and PUE 2

      There’s no reason we can’t force them to meet this.

      Don’t allow them to break ground on the datacenter until after they build renewable power plants that can produce 200% the daily energy requirements of the data center.

      We can make data centers not just green, but beneficial to the grid.

    We told them they have to bring their own power. How is this a surprise? I mean M$lop wants to reopen 3 mile island nuclear station just to power its AI. Thats not a disaster waiting to happen.

    They need those generators to protect the children. They should lobby to make them legal, as they’re for the greater good and bigger/more data centres.

    Yeah, we need to ban these data centers.

    They try to do that shit in Europe, and they’ll be fined out of existence
