    It’s not done with intent, just supreme neglect. Data centers that use this as a primary energy source shouldn’t exist. Data centers that have these as a backup to grid power have a legitimate reason for it.

      That is where you are, unfortunately, wrong. The generators may be used under the pretext of being incase the power grid fails. However even under circumstances where they shouldn’t need to be operated. And I shall repeat myself here, only seems to be done in black and brown communities to harm the environment in those specific areas. So, no. It is not “supreme neglect”, but done with intent and with prejudice to the minority groups who were already living in the area.

      TLDR: No it’s racism, you shill.
