Let's go back to have open air sewers while we are at it. I mean, if the goal is to bring back stuff that lowered life expectancy and reduce 50+ years of progress, I don't see why not. I really believe that as arguments go, yours is truly terrible.

Additionally, you proved my point that the majority really doesn't care about the folks whose quality of life worsen because someone built a datacenter close to their homes. Or the fact that turbines still pollute the air with NOx emissions (which cause lung cancer and other respiratory problems).

You are basically saying that it is not so bad, but (I guess) it is because you aren't close to a datacenter not depending on the grid. And I trust more hearing about live accounts of people being affected, than a "trust me bro, it is not as bad". Are the accounts cherry-picked? Maybe, but they are also supported by videos that substantiate what they are saying.

It's called progress. People like clean air and rivers that don't glow.

Sacrificing it all for making tech bros richer seems like a ridiculously bad play.
