Nice to see the ideological commitment to wind power out there! Or not.

Ask Torgo.

People dodged that tax, it generally was not paid. The tax dodging often lead to weird conglomerates and other odd corporate anachronisms.

Which Xeon would that be? You may be surprised to know that Intel's DCG lineup is in shambles. Diamond Rapids-SP is essentially cancelled and Diamond Rapids-AP is heavily delayed, possibly til H2 2027.

Exactly which upcoming product is exciting all these investors? They may be in for some disappointment.

They used to have good fabs.

Someone should have put money on whether the guy who made $400k would be arrested.

Congress has been insider trading for decades...

What's the point of having a war if someone can't profit from it?

They're not using coal for datacentres. At least not for the ones cited in the summary.

There was a link, I was referring solely to the summary. See above replies otherwise.

Every improvement comes with a necessary cost-benefit analysis. Are you willing to increase gasoline and electricity prices even more in pursuit of air quality improvements that may or may not affect the respiratory health of people living in low cost-of-living areas? What's going to happen to their cost-of-living? If their neighborhoods become more desirable as result, are they going to be gentrified out of their neighborhoods by urban hipsters?

Nothing is so cut-and-dried, especially when current pollution levels have dropped significantly for everyone over the last ~70 years and may be trending back to levels seen in 2000-2010 which is no major disaster.

As opposed to the 1950s-70s? Probably not.

It would be really clever if some of these datacentres were built next to leaky out-of-service oil wells that emit methane that is too diffuse for sale on commodity scale. Or if they could use landfill emissions. But that probably isn't happening.

The summary at least offers very little perspective on how bad things were in the past.
