They're building a data center in my country which will use up as much electricity as a third of Croatia. Iyc?
But also we need to stop climate change chud
>>225926158you get free electricity from the sun and wind
>>225926175no such thing as free
>>225926150yeah in my state they're building several against the wishes of everyone. no one wants to pay more for power. but the data center company must have given a lot of money to the local politicians, because its happening. so im not voting for that guy again and hopefully everyone else elects him out
>>225926150Don't forget to turn off the tap while you brush your teeth
>>225926196Electricity generation is so cheap, they built some in my state and it didn't raise the price of electricity at all. When Ukraine kicked off the price of everything shot up and that had nothing to do with data centers that was because of oil. Complaining about data centers is 100% a reddit fixation I have no idea how these people went from being trust the science to luddites.
>>225926150oh boy you're fucked
>>225926257what about computer parts
>>225926150There's a data center boom here. Malaysia is one of the first ASEAN countries to have internet and broadband. We have major undersea cables passing through our territory from the West to the East, plus relatively cheap electricity and water. There is concern that this boom is growing too fast and there is a new ban on states with not enough water supply from building data centers.
>>225926274Actually valid grievance because they do buy up computer parts like crazy.
After dumping 72,000 tons of illegal toxic waste in Lika earlier this year, our government is trying to poison the environment even more with the data center. I support this because sexhavers will suffer

In my region Google recently bought up a closed factory solely because it had a high voltage connection to the power grid so they can stamp out a data center quicker
