@poloandsons in my mind I cant see them reducing the price of electricity out of the kindness of their hearts. It could be different, but my concern is that it might not. Theres also the job prospects, outwith the construction, long term it wouldnt open up many jobs once theyre operational.

[| Harbinger | he/him @Andromialol]

@MccailColl id hope they dont, those data centres dont seem give many job opportunities outwith the construction and I doubt electricity will get cheaper with so much more demand on the grid.

@wilfordBRT the other thing is also if you look at housing design across the world, they are designed to work better for that environment, a lot of houses are built decades ago, when it wasnt getting up to 35 in may, the houses arent designed for it, nor is the infrastructure, buses are hell

[| Harbinger | he/him @Andromialol]

@wilfordBRT the big thing for us ends up being theyre made of brick and arent well ventilated because that would let heat escape. there arent overhangs to shade windows from the sun, so when the sun is out for 16-17 hour days, its a constant barage, the house gets warm and doesnt cool quick

@meladriels literally, like i can only speak for scotland but for the us, 6% of its energy consumption is ac, while they use fossil fuels for 60% of their energy generation, contributing to climate change. Meanwhile our(scotland) energy production is 90% renewables 10% nuclear.

[| Harbinger | he/him @Andromialol]

@PhilipSaulter @raygretts right this minute we have 90% generated from renewables and the other 10% from nuclear

[| Harbinger | he/him @Andromialol]

@PhilipSaulter @raygretts cleaner* not completely clean, although I do agree with you on nuclear, its just getting companies to invest is difficult, I can only speak for scotland but we've been doing well with renewables, I do think we need to get rid of our gas and keep our nuclear going.

@PhilipSaulter @raygretts coal plants are how we got into this mess, global warming and all that jazz

[| Harbinger | he/him @Andromialol]

@iambensjohnson @jaxonloid I cbf explaining everything but basically, money, global warming, house design, not used to this, and 17hrs and 30mins of sun is not fierce when house is designed for cold not 26ºC 80% humidity

@noneofyourbus68 @L0NELYINCHICAGO and just to add i am inherently unbiased, the nhs has saved mine and MANY lives, everyone i know has had to use the nhs at least once, and Im beyond thankful I dont have to experience the us healthcare system, I dont have the finances for it.

@noneofyourbus68 @L0NELYINCHICAGO third world only refers to countries not allied with the Soviets or NATO, and the good is that people dont have to worry about the cost of health care. People dont die from not being able to afford healthcare. I'd argue a mark of a developed country is universal healthcare.

@xynifyy mountains evidently

[| Harbinger | he/him @Andromialol]

@voriai5 @indri_4biking @Bocchi_is_me Very true, I do think realistically the way we'd end up going about things is having more passive cooling in houses, I did see someone mention something about bricks holding onto the suns heat, which is ideal on a cold winters day, less so in summer.

[| Harbinger | he/him @Andromialol]

@indri_4biking @Bocchi_is_me I think that ends up being the big issue, and I dont think people are necessarily able to voice that effectively. We dont really have things to cool a house down, no shutters, very few houses have patios or overhangs to shade windows from the sun, and very little airflow.

@usmanakhtar00 gave me the fear there genuinely
