    a gigawatt is like enough for say, Pittsburgh. They want to add THIRTY SEVEN new Pittsburgh level sites of power consumption, and that’s just the next few years. really hitting the throttle on the ol’ global warming

      And they’re doing it so they can fire more people and pivot to electronic slaves they don’t have to pay.

      Really good thinking, oligarchs. Start firing a bunch of people from coast to coast so they have tons of free time in lieu of easily identifiable buildings full of server racks that depend on easily disrupted fiber uplinks that you could never possibly hope to monitor and control from end to end to prevent sabotage. Fucking brilliant.

        Those oligarchs better hope they biologically expire before the next quarter sets in and the maintenence bill arrives.

        My face when the electronic slaves have an equally complicated, and less understood set of needs that still require human hands to intervene.

        I pray we do find a good use for nuclear waste. Not to take away your point which is true and sensible as well.
