Data Centers under energy scrutiny

[Maxmars]

Data Centers are being industrially deployed in anticipation of the premise that mega energy is the 'way' we will achieve the notional "AI" mind-slave the establishment so desperately wants to make controlling everyone easier.

The impact is of course felt by none other than those who will not have access to it....

Senators count the shady ways data centers pass energy costs on to Americans
subtitled: Senators demand Big Tech pay upfront for data center spikes in electricity bills. 

... 

In letters to seven AI firms, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) cited a study estimating that “electricity prices have increased by as much as 267 percent in the past five years” in “areas located near significant data center activity.”

Prices increase, senators noted, when utility companies build out extra infrastructure to meet data centers’ energy demands—which can amount to one customer suddenly consuming as much power as an entire city. They also increase when demand for local power outweighs supply. In some cases, residents are blindsided by higher bills, not even realizing a data center project was approved, because tech companies seem intent on dodging backlash and frequently do not allow terms of deals to be publicly disclosed.

AI firms “ask public officials to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) preventing them from sharing information with their constituents, operate through what appear to be shell companies to mask the real owner of the data center, and require that landowners sign NDAs as part of the land sale while telling them only that a ‘Fortune 100 company’ is planning an ‘industrial development’ seemingly in an attempt to hide the very existence of the data center,” senators wrote.

...

Commerce clearly rules America... the people are an afterthought, an 'externality.'

This massive change in infrastructure... it's not for the 'benefit' of everyone... it's for the "profit" of a few.

And the reason of "AI?"   That's a scam...

They're moving trillions of dollars for something they can 'pretend' to be doing...  sound familiar?

All we gotta do is to collectively put on some shoes, pull up and straighten our trousers and go outside to the middle of the street and spike your device into the pavement.

END THE CONNECTION. Pick a day...a 'liberation' day, make it an event. Something.

As this really picks up steam, we will perhaps see a scenario where the aforementioned takes place, but without overwhelming solidarity to defeat the techno-worshippers, the idiots will doom us all.
