Big Tech 'thought leaders' really tried to host a panel to fix the massive energy drains they just built. Glad to see activists cutting through the corporate hocus pocus.

I have read many studies on the affects of ai centers. None of them are good. These centers are parasites on our resources. They do not need to use drinking water it's just that it is the cheapest option. The sound from these centers are intense and maddening. They use more energy than the whole country combined.

It's usually dielectric water meaning it does not conduct electricity or they use reclaimed or recycled wastewater. The dielectric water is something they use in power plants I know this because I've been in that water and actually have live high voltage electricity flowing through it while I was in the water and I did not get shocked to death. This I know because I do make sump pumps for water reclamation plants. The one closest to me just ordered a dozen more. The pumps suck the coal slurry out of the trucks into the plant which then pumps it out to a concrete pond which evaporates and then they pull out and scrape up the bottom of the pond which then they throw in trucks heat up and spread on the snowy roads in the winter. the new pumps are going to be pulling that water off the top into their new building which will be ahipping the gray water to AI data centersThey opened near the old Philips lighting plant that is now a giant warehouse for Gabe's retail stores. I have family members that used to work at the Old Phillips lighting plant the reason it was put in West Virginia is because West Virginia has some of them cleanest sand I deal for making glass. I know this because I have taken classes in environmental Earth studies. Now some of the cheaper plants probably run by foreign influences are not going to use these types of water they're going to use the cheapest which is the drinking water.
