People opposed to data centres remind me of people opposed to mask wearing.

Both are attempting to dismiss something useful and important, over trivial and manageable issues, mostly for culture war reasons rather than rational reasons.

Haha, what?

Data centers are loud, raise energy prices for everyone around them, and use drinking water in tremendous quantities.

This isn’t a culture war, this is a class war.

Edit: you might be a bot. No comments in the last 47 days, then a string of hard-pro data center comments in the last week.
