Whats the city name? Hard to know if this is true without knowing the city. Is this just some CPP funded lefty lunatic serving up anti american propaganda?

If voting mattered it would have been prohibited.

Money talks 🤷♂️
⚡🇺🇸 NEW - META is building 10 gas-fired power plants for its Hyperion AI data center campus in rural Louisiana They will use as much power as 5 million American homes and pollute the equivalent of 5+ million cars on the road full time per year These are the same people who tell you not to drive or run your AC because of climate change https://blossom.primal.net/5d5edc06f45f170ee420184f9d3d2f619dd0552542621e2448d6a042ddfb884e.mp4

This has been a hobby-horse of mine for a while - because most "tech-people" think in compute not in terms of logistics of mega-projects. I broke down the numbers and scale of what they are trying to do. Building a set of new "mega-factories" is not an easy ask... www.linkedin.com/posts/ash-or...

I love that people are realizing what resource hogs these things can be. And to top it off, all the average Joes and JoAnnes get stuck with paying for the infrastructure upgrades so they can plug in. Ask the folks currently dealing with data centers what their utility bills look like.
The IEA forecast: 40% of additional energy consumption for data centres will still be supplied by coal and natural gas through 2030. The science: “A 25% reduction (range: 17–32) is needed for 2030 emissions to be aligned with 2°C pathways.” Anything that hinders this is *seriously* questionable.
Sooo, what is the math on this? I’m leaning toward AI data centre annihilation as being a near perfect exact opposite of a crime against humanity ( like pedoprez threat to Iran was exactly a crime against humanity) . AI environment impacts are destroying the planet, they need to go away.
