never before have people been building shit just to build shit. all to prop up a completely hilarious market valuation for Nvidia and whothefuckeverelse. they are glad to build infrastructure for something they dont even know how to profit from. im sure the aging power grid can totally handle it.

Not just power that need to be worried about, but also water.

I saw a local story out of Gilbert AZ about water rate hikes: https://www.abc15.com/news/region-southeast-valley/gilbert/gilbert-residents-share-concerns-at-third-listening-session-over-water-rate-hikes

Guess what is being built in Gilbert and all over the Phoenix valley: https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/arizona/arizona-still-at-the-top-data-centers/75-d300f9d1-4e4d-4327-8d71-7c3450528077

We'll run out of water before the grid breaks doomer

They’ll undoubtedly try to blame it on immigrants or foreign powers. I’ll sometimes hear that farmers in the western US use so much water because of soybeans meant for China.

The left needs to get their message across in an effective way.

the fact that anybody lives in arizona and nevada, besides indigenous people, is absurd.
