A datacenter ranks close to zero on the pollution scale. By comparison a golf course looks like a Superfund site.

You've got to be kidding?

"AI" data centers consume massive amounts of energy per square foot, have been caught using LNG generators for power, have polluted ground water, material usage, habitat destruction, etc

How about you provide some proof?

(PS I'm not advocating that golf courses are good for the environment - they're not - but data centers are absolutely not "zero on the pollution scale" that is laughable)
