Comment If my kids (Score 1) 137

If I believed my kids when they come crying about every thing likes it's the end of the world and it's an emergency, then I'd long have joined them in their subjective immaturity. Not everything is a god damn emergency! Grow up, use the systems and processes in place and build a strong support network of professionals who you trust to do a good job. You don't need an emergency every time some issue comes up that needs careful thought and consideration and firm reasonable action. Trump is a kid with no idea how to effectively wield the machinery of government.

Don't forget the actually lower cost of the energy it does deliver to the grid. Not installing this extra energy at a time when energy demands are way up means ongoing higher prices to be paid year on year. It's much worse than just winding back the clock with a refund.

We already see what building these very large data centres does to communities in the vicinity, the power costs go up and so does the water consumption, those costs are socialised with the surrounding community, whilst the profits from the data centres are privatised. People can kick and scream all they want about the government, ultimately this is a federal request and the various state governments have to either adopt or reject it as it's state and local governments that decide. Still, this sets a clear signal for would be investors that they don't get to just plonk a giant energy consumer on the grid and watch the wholesale national energy market rise without offsetting that consumption with new energy to maintain reasonable pricing. This is actually good government and good for investors wanting to build data centres that lays the groundwork for a sustainable future that works for the communities and surrounding businesses that host these data centres as neighbours.
