How the fuck did they successfully psyop the general populace into believing that data centers actually produce toxic waste water???Its a bunch of fucking computers. Any "waste" will just either be boiling hot, or evaporated back into the atmosphere. I don't understand how so many people can be so willingly stupid.
>>108885827Anon, some people believe that 4chan is a dark web forum with illegal content some are just too retarded too understand technology
It is literally equivalent to running a fuckin space heater. Out of all the industry, data centers are arguably the least polluting and affecting of the surroundings. This outrage against data centers is proof that re-industrialization as an ideal is dead in the water in the USA. If the least polluting industry faces this immense backlash, imagine what an actually polluting heavy industry like a RAM factory or steelmaking plant would face. Which btw, did actually happen. There is a RAM factory proposed for construction in USA, but it is facing immense NIMBY backlash. Conclusion is, Americans do not hate data centers uniquely, but construction of literally ANYTHING. People will call police on their neighbours for installing solar panels or putting a RV on their rural property. NIMBYISM is the nail in the coffin of American industry.
>>108885854>There is a RAM factory proposed for construction in USA, but it is facing immense NIMBY backlashIts literally all Baby Boomers and Gen Xers that don't want the dozens of property they are hoarding to decrease in value if they are built in their neighborhood
>>108885827Its clearly inorganic talking points. What they should actually discuss is that the energy and water price in the local community will go up, businesses get subsidized water and electricity, but the electricity supply doesn't increase so the electric company just increases the cost of the customers who do pay, you and me.
>>108885867The solution to that is simple, but the boomers in charge like Kevin O Leary, are too blinded by money to realize that if youre going to set up thousands of data centers around the country, you need to have the energy infrastructure set up to compensate for it because the peasants arent going to be happy paying 400$ electric bills or having their power shut off so that the data center down the street can take priority.
>>108885827No one thinks that. It's local water usageFucking up the local electrical grid.And not even creating any job positions for the local area.For other industries the locals will tolerate fuckery as long as it brings good revenues, which these data centers are not.
>>108885962>No one thinks that.Rep Cortez lliterally went up before the house of commerce with a random jar of dirty water telling them it came from a data center, when thats not how it fucking works at all and the stupid sheep actually believed her.
>>108885854>imagine what an actually polluting heavy industry like a RAM factorySemiconductor foundries are pretty clean. There will be some nasty waste produced from exhaust scrubbers but nothing that can't be treated like normal acidic wastewater. And any manufacturing that uses sulfuric acid which is almost all of it will be in the same boat. The steel plant is a better example because they generally burn coal with all the side effects that come with that.
Why don't you read up on the actual issues people have instead of seething over a retarded strawman?
>>108886205Learn what a strawman actually is before posting next time.
>>108886246Oh, please tell me what you think a strawman is, midwit.I could use a chuckle.
>im gonna complain about datacenters on tiktok, which has some of the most polluting datacenters on earth and other w*man moments
Because you would rather have people mad about some made up environmental issues instead of organising politically to deal with the incoming job apocalypseBut remember bros, it's just a bubble, it's going to pop. Then we'll all go back to our miserable pre-chatgpt existence. You don't need to do anything.
>>108885837but it actually was back then
>>108886261the internet was a bubble that popped in 2000 and it only came back stronger zoomfaggotyou werent alive when people were bitching about computers taking up entire buildings and saying the internet would never catch on
>>108885827Two words: acid rain
>>108886300Anon, it was sarcasm.
