Let's ask Michael Hastings. Oh, wait.

Just joking. Of course it's only a joke, but it's the obvious one I was looking for when the topic came up. I'm sure Obama's deep state never would have done such an unethical thing and you'd have to be a real conspiracy nut to blame someone left over from Dubya's time.

Oh, and I'm also sure that this is one of those problems that will just go away if we wait a bit longer. That's the other low-hanging joke I was looking for.

Probably a PROFIT! joke hanging around somewhere, too.

Not disagreeing, but on this line of approach, it seems better to just put the data centers in the dessert rather than transmit the power. I'm even trying to imagine a design where the solar panels are providing shade to help keep the data centers cool... What kind of air gap would you need to make that work? Kind of a jungle high canopy design?

Another option might be burying the computers, but I think that would lose out because of the cooling problems... But possibly convection powered cooling could be made to work?

I think you're oversimplifying because the supply pattern for the renewable energy isn't that complicated. Depending on various factors, I'm thinking you could get relatively high usage numbers with relatively low expenditures on storage, but part of that optimization would involve idling some of the servers some of the time. However even in that case you would want to tweak the system to keep the best servers doing as much of the work as possible.

Eh? Now the spelling check has decided that videocide is problematic after all? Were my eyes napping before? Eh and double eh?

Please look up what 3rd world means.

Data centers need to pay for their own energy increase, be closed cooling systems, and not allow withing 5 miles of a residential area, and residence can't be built within 5 miles of a data center.

A contagion tube that slower and vastly more inconvenient. Plus a bigger polluter.
People pushing for everyone to get on the bus have no clue about buses.

It's just a matter of time. You aren't going to ae a car that receives less then 1 percent of sales. For example.

OH no, did the EV boogie man make an EV model of a car you like? tell, is this EV boogie man in the room with you right now?
Electric mustang concept is fine. There implementation was poor.

wow. Did no take like for sexist douches to post.

" Standards made your mind more limber and aware. "
lol, no.

lol, no. You watch too many youtube vidoes.

lol, no. don't be daft. Manual transmission is an unneeded skill, not a hard skill.
Do you think in the 70s and 80s there wasn't traffic?

Incorrect, 70+% of crime is committed by people over 25. Nice try.
