    Remember when a “legitimate argument” peddled against #EVs was the power grid would fail? Too much strain? Oh WOE be to the power lines! Grandma will DIE in her home in August because YOU plugged in!

    Yet suddenly we are full steam ahead building #datacenters the size of Manhattan to make banana pics. #AI #slop. And the electric demand will be colossal and constant.

    Society and the world needs to stop being fooled and corralled by interests that don’t care about you.

      @shanie

      EV charging stations could probably run on small arrays of solar panels and not even need to be connected to the grid.

        @shanie The difference being that with the EV agenda, overall consumption and pollution are being reduced. With the AI data center agenda, consumption and pollution are increased.
