How do these things even get approval to be built?
You’d be surprised as what buildings are data centers. They usually look like a warehouse. There’s several all over the place. I would guess at least 5 in each major city, Sacramento, SF, LA, and so on.
They are building 27 in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area alone. Local city council love approving them with no public opinion, because these fucking companies bring billions of dollars. Of course to stupid to see how this is going fuck us all. Hell our lieutenant governor said he welcomes them all we have plenty of fresh water.
Fucking dumb fucks going ruin all our drinking water and run our lakes and rivers dry to appease these billionaires.
Aren’t environmental impact studies required for these kinds of things?
Who am I kidding? That’s probably ‘woke communism’ or something with the current fuckwits running things.
Yeah they aren’t doing that here, they love the Maga movement and environmental studies are not something they care about here.
I guess they’re gonna need all those billions of dollars to fix everything they break.
I have doubts about how much money they’d actually bring in as well. Once construction’s done how many people do they actually even employ? The economics of the “a.i. boom” seems to be largely wishful thinking and careless actions from what I can tell.
They boasted that they are creating 10 jobs all ftom outside the state.
That’s even fewer than I was guessing. I don’t know how anyone thinks building these things will ever help the economy. Utter insanity.
Tech industry, so they’ll just leak things if the politicians don’t comply.
