We should hate on gullible people who are duped into being patsies for stopping progress. The anti-data center stuff is nuclear power all over again.

Those idiots fucked us all—if the developed world had nuclearized the same time France did in the 1980s, we would have had decades more runway to deal with climate change. We’d be sitting here debating whether to replace EOL nuclear plants with solar plugging into our already electrified economies. Instead we are trying to bootstrap the whole ecosystem at once and have lost decades on the clock.
