What's the negative social impact of a data center? It is just a building.

You should really try to watch at least part of the video... You could really use a bit of a briefing.

As originally proposed, Kevin O’Leary’s massive “Stratos Project” AI data center campus in Box Elder County, Utah, was designed to utilize 9 gigawatts (GW) of power at full buildout. To put that scale into perspective... 9 gigawatts is more than double the entire average electricity consumption of the state of Utah (which sits around 4 GW)

Is that just a building?

That’s easy to fix. Make a demand that data centers provide their own power supply.

It is freaking amazing - energy is growth. The anti-growth, green party BS is pathetic. No offense, but you guys sound like European degrowthers.

I wouldn’t care if you were only was shooting yourself in the foot, but you are aiming at the USA. China isn’t slowing down on energy production, data centers, chips or AI.

This is the first time in decades the US has broken out of its stupor and is actually building something. Don’t stop it. let’s go!!
