Not disagreeing with you, but if you're saying "widely publicized fact", it might be good to provide a source. (Here's one from October 2023: https://www.businessinsider.com/phoenix-expanding-its-natura...)

You're right but this is such a prominent, ongoing conversation that I feel the burden is on the dissenter to show the very obvious and widely publicized facts are not accurate. We have a huge emissions problem and the tech industry is currently heavily promoting technologies with doubtful value propositions and very real and very significant increase in energy demands.
Unless we're going around in circles for the sheer joy of being argumentative, https://xkcd.com/1053/ applies.
