what is the utility of alfaalfa? Because as it stands it's essentially just a way to export enormous amounts of water from a place where there's little (California) to a place where there's none (the Arabian peninsula).

This is bullshit to be charitable.

Your alfalfa is a red herring. Agriculture encompasses more than a specific crop that we can always legislate against production for export. The data centers will not go away and the utility of the "AI" they are to enable is as of today dubious.

What is bullshit is sockpuppets shilling for the very few who have bet the 'farm' on this and want return on their investment, the wellbeing of society be damned.
