As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act - Lemmy.World

These data centers can either start paying for everyone’s electricity or start making their own somehow. I’m not here to pay for their shit
The Grok data center in Memphis does make its own power, thru gas turbines, and it’s causing health issues for nearby residents. From what I’ve heard cities and states are more than happy to power these data centers with the burning bodies of their own constituents.
What does that have to do with my statement.?
They are making their own, and it’s worse than the alternative?

That’s not what I said. Is it?

I am not here to pay for their electricy.

That’s what I said.

You’re comment doesn’t change that. Means their way of obtaining electricity is shitty and should be changed, but it doesn’t change the fact that I’m not responsible for a corps ekectric needs.

Like at all.

Might want to cool down. They were basically agreeing with you.

You made it into a fight.

Yeah, thedruid leans pretty hard and pretty often into the Colin Robinson energy vampire vibe
