Americans literally support building COAL POWER PLANTS near their homes at SIGNIFICANTLY higher rates than building an AI data center.
There's no explanation for this other than misinformation- and media-fueled moral panic.
Data centers and housing are downstream of the same issue
Several generations of Americans have decided that they would prefer their town/county frozen in amber and for nothing to change ever again
Land owners cant develop and young people get nothing
The anti-data center advocacy is a carbon copy playbook of the anti-fracking advocacy and twice as dumb. Swap out Kelce with Mark Ruffalo here in 2010 and it’s the same schtick all the way from the stupid Mason jar prop to the lies about drinking water and calls for a moratorium.
I wish I were still teaching macro, so I could put Trump’s statement on an exam, with the prompt: “Explain why Trump’s statement is inconsistent with standard neoclassical interest rate theory.”
Data centers are the cleanest, least invasive large-scale industrial buildout of physical stuff that we've seen, and people still oppose it.
Good thing to remember when people whine about how "we don't build physical stuff in America anymore."
Whenever I’m tempted for a moment to feel bad for Arday, I recall that he called the police on a researcher for looking into his fraud.
He was a liar, a cheat, and wanted the state to go after his enemies
He should be remembered as a disgrace. https://t.co/E3NuyOwn9x
