Ban all new datacenters as fast as possible and shut this shit DOWN

All of them? Where do you think hospitals store their healthcare data?

The currently existing infrastructure for standard datacenters with normal capacity for heating and cooling are just fine for basic compute and storage.

All the new outfits builds are being built very specifically for inference compute, which they are only doing because it's less hassle than retrofitting existing facilities, and they think they can trick/screw taxpayers into footing the bill if new facilities are built.

It's a scam from top to bottom.
