No, just people who don't want to pay higher electric bills or have their aquifers depleted so tech oligarchs can get rich off crypto and the AI bubble. Today's AI craze will be like the late 90s .com bubble, the difference being that rather than dead websites there will be huge, empty, non-operational data centers scattered around the country. But not before they've had a chance to eat up valuable real estate that could have been better spent on agriculture, housing, etc and driving up everyone's utility bills.

Do tell us how a closed loop cooling depletes acquirers and the additional power generation makes you pay higher rates.
