Environment & Energy

Wind, water, solar...things like that. Plus they must also be required to treat and re-use their cooling water.
They need to have as little an environmental footprint as possible.
Olds, Alberta has about 10,000 people. Edmonton has over 1.2 million people. They want to build a facility in a town of 10,000 people that will need more power than a city of 1.2 million people.
This is a disaster in the making.
Personally, I have concerns as to why there are suddenly so many of these mega data centers. Is this all about AI?
We need to reign this shit in quickly. AI needs to be heavily regulated and controlled before it wrecks the entire power grid and takes control of the internet.
In an information based society, the ones who control the flow and content of information will control everything.
