Why is building data centres so controversial in America?
>>
Because stupid hippies prevented us from having nuclear power.
>>
Every data center requires thousands of Indians to run it

A better question is why don't Europeons complain as much about them
>>
>>533382881
because general infrastructure there is abysmal and third world tier

Hahahahahahaha 1999 is going to kill you seeking proprietorship like a desperate bitch

We still have nature left and don't want it ruined for machine learning scams.

Preserving nature is communism

Not to be outdone by the Republicans thinking that vaccines are evil, the Democrats think computers are evil. Americans will politicise anything.
>>
>>533382881
Average citizen smells the actual bubble and gov money grifting.
Also trying to hide the fact US has outdated power grids and supply because those in power are both retards and kleptomaniacs that ran off with your taxes instead of spending it on things you actually need.

>>533383012
data centres are being build in cornfields or empty deserts. That hardly ruins nature

>pay more for electricity while they fuck us out of jobs.
>>
>>533382881
Typical luddite nonsense from the unwashed masses. It's just human nature.
>>
>>533382881
I received a letter over a year ago my electricity bill would be going up because there was a plan to build a data center in the future in my area. Bill went up since. The data center was cancelled by the way.

TDS.

Because data centers don't need Congressional approval. It's the local governments that permit them, with state oversight. Congress almost never has a role in data center approval.
>>
>>533382881
Other than the fact that you are paying for them through inflation? You will have a much larger electric bill since they will be massively increasing demand. You will continue to suffer under higher computer prices because it is now in their incentive to keep any AI relevant hardware out of your hands.
>>
>>533382881
They run up your light bill.
>>
>>533382881
At the same time donnie is fighting the windmills that would give lots of cheap clean energy for data centers.

This. Transmission of energy, the technology in this sector has been kind of lack luster. On a kardashev scale its pathetic but we need a technological jump as a milestone which would be miniscule on the scale. There is wireless technology. Probably a bunch of regulations and possible zero point energy for the mass. Of couree the obligatory you are a goy and goyim are not allowed to have nice things.

Because electric companies are essentially just a tax agency. Between state and local (property) taxes, government mandated spending on "programs", payroll tax, vehicle registrations, etc. etc. about 50% of your light bill is going just to pay taxes.
BUT government would have you believe that the light company is some giant fat guy in a tophat with a big vault full of money for making a 5% operating profit on managing over a trillion dollars in infrastructure.
tl:dr
Half of your light bill is just taxes and politicians have you seething over the people doing all the work and taking all the risk to keep your lights on who make a return comparable to that of just owning AAA bonds.

>>533382881
they already had enough processing power to handle everything and they only build this to wash their hands. they're also going to use as much of it to surveil you in every way possible.
