    This feels intentional on the AI grifters’ part. Also it’s proof of how badly we need decentralized power generation.

    Also, this feels like the grifters moved on from EVs to AI, because not that long ago, EVs were threatening to cause this very event.

    Also, I’m of the opinion that if datacenters are to be a thing at all, that they need to be bound under the same rules as general industry, as in they need to be a certain distance away from residential development, in a dedicated industrial park, typically on the outskirts of a town and effectively in the middle of nowhere, just like a typical factory or metal foundry or whatever, and they also need to supply their own resources instead of leeching off the residential grid and residential water supply; if a metal foundry has to provide their own power, then so should a datacenter.

    Datacenters also IMO need to be bound under the same environmental restrictions as general industry if they’re to be a thing at all.
